Seat change
Against Assam's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1996), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained52 (41%)
- Changed hands70 (56%)
- New seat4 (3%)
52 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 70 changed hands. 4 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
