The political landscape in Assam is shifting as major parties finalize their candidates for the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has selected Debashish Sharma, the former Deputy Commissioner of Nagaon, to contest the seat. The Indian National Congress has countered by nominating Sibamoni Bora, a former MLA from the Batadroba constituency.

This by-election is viewed as a significant test of political influence in the region. While the BJP aims to leverage the administrative background of its candidate to appeal to voters, the Congress is relying on the established legislative experience of its nominee. The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) is also expected to play a critical role in the outcome, though specific candidate details for the party were not highlighted in the initial reports. The race is characterized by high stakes, as both major national parties seek to solidify their presence in the Nagaon constituency ahead of broader political cycles.
