The first trends from Guwahati Central have yet to emerge. The key candidates in the fray include Vijay Kumar Gupta from the BJP, Anurupa Dekaraja from AAP, and Bipul Debnath of AIFB.

Voter turnout in Guwahati Central was recorded at 75.95% this year, according to the Election Commission of India. Polling was conducted peacefully.

Guwahati Central notably registered a voter turnout of 87.12% during the 2021 Assembly Election.

• Competitive verdict likely: Guwahati is expected to see close contests instead of just a one-sided sweep.
• Edge but not certainty: Exit polls have indicated an advantage for the ruling alliance.
• Opposition optimism: Rival parties have so far remained confident of pulling off surprises.
• Shifting early trends: Initial leads might as well change through the morning as counting progresses.
• High attention race: Guwahati remains one of the most closely watched urban battlegrounds.

Every constituency will go through multiple rounds of EVM counting after postal ballots are tallied. In the first few rounds, early leads are likely to fluctuate, especially in close contests. Final trends generally stabilize after a substantial number of rounds are completed.

Security has reportedly been stepped up at all counting centres in Guwahati, with multi-layered arrangements in place. There is increased vigilance following allegations and counter-allegations in the run-up to counting day. While political parties have deployed counting agents, authorities have demanded that there be strict adherence to counting protocols.

Guwahati’s electorate notably spans both dense urban wards and rapidly expanding suburban zones. Analysts will be keeping an eye on voting patterns and whether they differ between core city areas and peripheral regions. If such a divide emerges, it could be decisive in constituencies where margins are expected to be narrow.

‘‘Justice for Zubeen Garg” has emerged as an emotional talking point during the campaign. The tragedy has resonated particularly among younger voters and cultural groups. Garg’s death is not a traditional electoral issue, but it has certainly become symbolic of broader sentiments around identity, accountability and public voice in Assam’s political discourse.

This year, voters in Guwahati are largely focusing on everyday urban concerns. Such as flooding during monsoons, worsening traffic congestion, infrastructure strain, and rising cost of living. Among other issues that also featured are employment opportunities and city planning in rapidly expanding suburbs. One central election has been governance in the evolving metro landscape.

Assam saw one of its highest voter turnouts in recent elections. However, Guwahati’s urban turnout remained slightly lower than the state average. Both major alliances are now interpreting the numbers in their favour; while the ruling side sees it as a sign of organisational strength and voter retention, the opposition claims to reflect understated anti-incumbency and silent voters

While most exit polls projected an advantage for the BJP-led alliance across Assam, Guwahati’s urban seats were largely viewed as tighter contests. While some agencies indicated narrow margins in at least two constituencies, opposition parties have called these projections misleading.
