As the political pulse of the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) quickens with anticipation, the countdown to the nomination deadline on September 2, 2025, has ignited a flurry of activity across its 40 constituencies. The Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) elections, slated for polling on September 22, 2025, with vote counting scheduled for September 26, 2025, are shaping up to be a fiercely contested battleground, drawing the attention of over 26,57,937 voters spread across 3,359 polling stations. The major players—Bodoland People’s Front (BPF), United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and Congress—have now laid their cards on the table, unveiling their candidate lists in a strategic showdown that promises to redefine the region’s political landscape.
Local sentiments largely dismiss Congress as a significant force in this election. Amid this high-stakes contest, the ruling UPPL faces internal turbulence with the resignation of Youth Wing General Secretary Dr. Sangrang Brahma over a nomination dispute in Chirang Duars, a move that has sent shockwaves through the party. Dr. Brahma, widely regarded as a close confidant and right-hand man to UPPL Chief Pramod Boro, aired his grievances in a resignation letter shared via a Facebook post, criticizing the nomination of former BPF leader Khampa Borgoyari. This internal rift, coupled with the emergence of the Alternative Party of Boroland (APB) unveiling eight additional nominees to reach a total of 25, adds an intriguing layer of complexity to an already dynamic electoral scenario.
