Former extremist Hagrama Mohilary-led BPF on Saturday (September 27, 2025) won the Assam’s Bodoland Territorial Council elections by bagging 28 of 40 seats. Meanwhile, the ruling UPPL and BJP got seven and five seats respectively, almost half of what they won in 2020.
The Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) improved its tally from the 17 seats it had won last time and secured an absolute majority, they said.
The United Peoples Party Liberal (UPPL) and the BJP, both alliance partners in the outgoing Council, finished far behind with seven and five seats, respectively.
Mr. Mohilary won the Debargaon constituency but lost the Chirangduar seat, and outgoing BTC chief and UPPL nominee Pramod Boro emerged victorious in Goimari.
Mr. Boro lost the Dotma seat.
The BPF had emerged as the single largest party in the 2020 polls with 17 seats, but the UPPL formed the Council with the support of the BJP and the Gana Suraksha Party (GSP).
