Assam State Congress president Ripun Bora defeated

In a massive setback to Congress, its Assam unit president Ripun Bora lost to BJP's Utpal Borah by 14,118 votes. Bora made a political comeback after being discharged in the Daniel Topno murder case in 2014 by bagging a Rajya Sabha ticket two years later. While his wife Monica Bora won this seat in 2011, she lost to BJP's Utpal Borah in the previous Assembly polls by 28,935 votes.
