Bhuban Gam wins from the Majuli constituency with a margin of 41,530 votes. A total of 71.76 per cent of the 1.33 lakh voters exercised their franchise in the election which was held on March 7. The election was necessitated following the resignation of the Union minister and former Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal, who was elected to the Rajya Sabha unopposed on September 27 last year.
He was elected to the state assembly from the seat for two consecutive terms.
