Rongkhang 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 Karbi Anglong district in the hill region of central Assam and falls under the Autonomous District Lok Sabha constituency, reserved for Scheduled Tribes. The constituency has a predominantly Karbi tribal electorate with an economy centred on shifting cultivation, tea, and forest produce.
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, Rongkhang does not carry a direct 2021 result. Adjacent Karbi Anglong seats in 2021 were won by BJP with large margins: Diphu (ST) by BJP's Bidya Sing Engleng by 40,528 votes and Bokajan (ST) by BJP's Numal Momin by 17,885 votes. In 2026, BJP's Tuliram Ronghang contests against Congress's Augustine Enghee for the new Rongkhang 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.
