About Sissiborgaon Constituency
Sissiborgaon is a newly formed assembly constituency in Assam's Dhemaji district, created during the 2023 delimitation as one of the 126 seats, with elections scheduled for April 2026. As of March 2026, there is no current MLA since the previous legislative term has ended, and it was carved from parts of earlier constituencies like those in Dhemaji without a direct 2021 predecessor specified in records.
Key Issues and Pre-Poll Activity
Key issues include intense pre-poll activity with the BJP holding back its candidate announcement amid releasing 88 names, the Congress-Raijor Dal alliance allocating the seat to Raijor Dal, and broader rural challenges such as infrastructure development, flood management, and ethnic dynamics typical of Dhemaji's tea and tribal areas ahead of the single-phase polls.
