The upcoming North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council (NCHAC) elections in Assam, scheduled for January 8, have seen a recent political shift.

Due to the nomination withdrawal deadline having passed, he stated that he and his supporters will be voting for TMC.

Currently, the BJP runs the council with Debolal Gorlosa as the chief executive member. The model code of conduct is already in effect, reflecting the seriousness with which the election is being approached.

Given the lack of information about an AAP candidate joining the TMC in the provided context, it is not possible to confirm this specific event. However, the details do convey the competitive nature of the election and the involvement of major political parties like the BJP, TMC, and Congress, indicating a dynamic political landscape leading up to the NCHAC elections.
