Fierce contest between local parties in Kokrajhar
Bodoland People's Front (BPF). Both parties are claiming their pre-eminent role in fostering stability in this once-troubled region. BJP has left the Kokrajhar (ST) seat for its ally UPPL.
UPPL has fielded Joyanta Basumatary, an MLA from Sidli assembly constituency and a former vice-president of the All-Bodo Students' Union. BPF has fielded Kampa Borgoyary.
BPF was in power in Bodoland Territorial Council, a sixth schedule area since its formation in 2005, before being ousted by UPPL in 2020. BPF maintains equidistance from Congress and BJP but coordinates with BJP in state assembly.
All India United Democratic Front, with support base among Muslims, has extended support to BPF in Kokrajhar.
