“Idiot proof safety efforts are taken to guarantee smooth lead of the counting system. Therefore, counting will happen at 18, including lobbies for the five seats where courses of action for 98 including tables have been made,” the boss constituent official said in an assertion. 

Considering the Covid-19 pandemic, the Election Commission has prohibited triumph parades in Assam after outcomes are proclaimed.

The other three seats went to surveys as two Congress MLAs, from Mariani and Thawra, and an All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) MLA from Bhabanipur left their gatherings and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). 

The decision BJP right now has 59 MLAs, the UPPL has five, and Asom Gana Parishad has nine, while the Opposition Congress has 27 MLAs, the AIUDF has 15, the BPF has three, the CPI(M) has one, and the recently drifted Raijor Dal has one seat in the 126-part House.
