Why Is the Nagaon Lok Sabha Seat Going to a By-Election?
The vacancy followed former MP Pradyut Bordoloi leaving Congress and resigning from the Lok Sabha after deciding to contest the Assam Assembly election. He subsequently won the Dispur Assembly constituency on a BJP ticket. The vacancy triggered the Nagaon parliamentary by-election.

| Devasish Sharma | BJP | Former IAS officer |

Why the Nagaon Result Matters
The by-election will not change the overall balance of power in the Lok Sabha, but it is politically important for BJP, Congress and AIUDF. BJP is seeking to extend its recent Assam strength into Nagaon, Congress is attempting to retain its support base, and AIUDF is seeking to rebuild influence after a sharp decline in its Assembly strength.
