Doomdooma Assembly constituency is one of the 126 constituencies in the Assam Legislative Assembly, formerly listed as Doom Dooma before the 2023 delimitation exercise standardised the spelling. It is a general (unreserved) seat located in Tinsukia district, well known as a tea industry hub with a large Adivasi and tea-tribe community. The constituency falls under the Lakhimpur 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, BJP's Rupesh Gowala won the seat with 49,119 votes, defeating Congress candidate Durga Bhumij (40,981 votes) by a margin of 8,138 votes. Gowala subsequently served as a cabinet minister holding the Labour Welfare, Tea Tribes, Adivasi Welfare, and Home portfolios. The rematch in 2026 sees Gowala defending his seat for the BJP while Durga Bhumij contests again for Congress, making this a straight replay of the 2021 contest.
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. Tea workers' welfare — including wages, housing, and healthcare in estates — along with flooding risks and youth employment beyond the plantations, will be the defining issues in Doomdooma in 2026.
