The election saw a high voter turnout of 83.55%, indicating the strong political engagement of the Kokrajhar electorate . This high turnout, coupled with the region’s diverse demographic composition, which includes a significant Bodo population, has been a key factor in shaping the electoral outcomes.
The results in Kokrajhar have implications for both state and national politics. The victory of the UPPL candidate, Joyanta Basumatary, strengthens the party’s position in the Bodo-dominated areas of Assam and could potentially influence the state’s political dynamics. At the national level, the election outcome reflects the continued importance of regional and identity-based parties in shaping the political landscape of India.
Overall, the 2024 Lok Sabha election in Kokrajhar highlights the complex interplay of regional, ethnic, and national factors that shape the political dynamics in Assam and the broader Northeast region of India.
