This was Brahma’s first election. His victory maintains UPPL’s hold on the Sidli seat, which was previously won by Joyanta Basumatary in the 2021 Assam Assembly elections with 97,087 votes.
The by-election was necessitated after Basumatary vacated the seat after his election to the Kokrajhar Lok Sabha seat.
Brahma’s win further strengthened UPPL’s position in the Bodoland Territorial Region as the leading party. UPPL is already heading the Bodoland Territorial Council.
