The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) has set up seven specialised teams to oversee the vote counting process for the recently concluded Assembly elections, scheduled for May 4. Party leaders said the initiative is aimed at strengthening monitoring and ensuring transparency during the crucial phase. The teams will supervise strongrooms, coordinate with candidates, and maintain vigilance across counting centres, according to APCC president Gaurav Gogoi and general secretary Jitendra Singh. Assam recorded a voter turnout of 85.96 per cent, one of the highest in recent years, adding weight to the outcome.
Senior leaders have been assigned responsibilities across Upper Assam, North Bank, Central Assam, hill districts, Lower Assam, Barak Valley, and the Bodoland Territorial Region. Members will visit counting centres ahead of May 4 and remain engaged until the process concludes. The Congress said the initiative underscores its focus on safeguarding electoral procedures and outcomes through coordinated oversight at the district level.
