New Guwahati Assembly constituency is one of the 126 constituencies in the Assam Legislative Assembly, created as a new seat in the 2023 delimitation exercise. It is located in Kamrup Metro district, covering rapidly urbanising western and north-western Guwahati, and falls under the Gauhati Lok Sabha constituency. The constituency is carved from territory previously shared between Jalukbari, Dispur, and the abolished Gauhati West 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).
As a newly created constituency, New Guwahati does not carry a direct 2021 result. Its predecessor segments in 2021 were dominated by BJP: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma won Jalukbari with a 92,677-vote margin, and BJP's Atul Bora held Dispur. Gauhati West (abolished) had been held by AGP. In 2026, BJP fields Diplu Ranjan Sarmah while Congress fields Santanu Bora for this new urban-peripheral Guwahati seat.
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.
