Election.
Apart from the ruling BJP and main opposition Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has fielded 40 candidates, giving more importance to the election.
Buoyed by its victory in the recent Punjab Assembly elections and its first success in two municipal wards in Lakhimpur and Tinsukia districts in last month’s civic polls, AAP is trying to expand its base in Assam and the Northeast region.
Political parties, both national and local, have gone all out to woo the people promising a flood free, crime free and development centric city with piped water in all houses apart from the availability of all other basic civic amenities. Meanwhile, BJP candidates have already been elected unopposed in three wards.
The BJP had given seven seats to its ally Asom Gana Parishad. A total of 7,96,829 voters of whom 3,99,911 are women and 27 are of third gender were eligible to exercise their franchise.

Choudhary said Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal has been promoting ethics in politics and such principles will help the party expand its base in Assam and other northeastern states. AAP is trying to present itself as an alternative to two national parties – BJP and Congress in the GMC elections.
