Algapur-Katlicherra Assembly constituency is one of the 126 constituencies in the Assam Legislative Assembly, formed by merging the former Algapur and Katlicherra seats in the 2023 delimitation exercise. It is a general (unreserved) constituency in Hailakandi district and falls under the Silchar Lok Sabha segment. The main political parties in Assam include the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), Bodoland People's Front (BPF), United People's Party Liberal (UPPL), and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM). In the 2021 Assam Assembly elections, both predecessor seats were won by the AIUDF. In Algapur, Nizamuddin Choudhury of the AIUDF secured 66,785 votes, defeating BJP's Mun Swarnakar (49,181 votes) by a margin of 17,604 votes. In Katlicherra, Sujam Uddin Laskar of the AIUDF won with 79,769 votes, defeating BJP's Subrata Nath (66,798 votes) by 12,971 votes. In 2026, BJP fields Zakir Hussain Laskar (contesting on the AGP ticket) and Congress fields Zubair Anam Mazumder in this newly combined constituency. The 2026 Assam Assembly elections will test Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's BJP-led government, which swept to power with a comfortable majority in 2021. With the opposition Congress-AIUDF combine seeking to consolidate anti-incumbency sentiment, every constituency will be a crucial battleground in deciding whether the state returns a second consecutive BJP government. The merger of two AIUDF strongholds into a single seat makes Algapur-Katlicherra one of the constituencies where the opposition alliance's vote consolidation strategy will face its clearest test.
