Guwahati: The ruling Congress has emerged the single largest party in Assam and set to form a coalition government. It won 52 of the 125 seats declared so far. A meeting on May 13 will elect the leader to stake the claim for forming a government. Chief Electoral Officer J.P. Prakash told The Hindu that the result from Dispur was awaited, as there was a technical snag in a voting machine. The Asom Gana Parishad secured 24 seats, while its allies, the Communist Party of India and the Autonomous State Demand Committtee won one each. The Bharatiya Janata Party won 10, increasing its strength in the Assembly by two seats. The Assam United Democratic Front, a conglomerate of 13 minority organisations, emerged victorious from 10 constituencies. The Hagrma Mahillary faction of the Bodoland People's Progressive Front, which had a tie-up with the Congress, won 12 seats. It announced that support would be extended to the Congress for forming a coalition government. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) won two seats, while the Nationalist Congress Party and the AGP (Progressive) got one each. Independents and others won 11 seats. Prominent winners included AGP president Brindaban Goswami, the former Chief Minister and AGP (Progressive) president Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, Health Minister Bhumidhar Barman and the former PWD Minister, Sarat Barkatoki of the Congress.
