Seven NDA candidates win uncontested in Boko ahead of Assam Panchayat polls

In a significant development ahead of the Assam Panchayat Elections scheduled for May 2 and 7, seven NDA candidates have been elected uncontested as Anchalik Panchayat Members in the 4 No. Boko Anchalik Panchayat. 

This comes as several other candidates withdrew their nominations on the final day of withdrawal on Thursday.

Out of the total 11 Anchalik Panchayat seats under the 4 No. Boko Anchalik Panchayat, seven were won without contest by candidates from the BJP, AGP, and Rabha Hasong Jouth Mancha (RHJM), who are contesting the election as NDA allies with a pre-decided seat-sharing arrangement.

The uncontested winners include:

Bipul Rabha (BJP) – 39 No. Pachim Bekeli Gaon Panchayat

Apsara Rabha (RHJM) – 34 No. Pub Luki Gaon Panchayat

Surbhi Rabha (RHJM) – 41 No. Dakin Pachim Luki Gaon Panchayat
