The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has started preparing for the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, according to party sources. On Monday, the party announced a list of candidates for several constituencies across the state. Party chief Badruddin Ajmal will contest from the Binnakandi constituency. With this announcement, AIUDF has begun its early push ahead of the polls that are expected next year.
Badruddin Ajmal’s decision to contest the Assembly elections himself is seen as an important step for the party, party officials said. So far, Ajmal has mostly led from Parliament and through party organisation.
Apart from Binnakandi, the party declared its candidates for constituencies spread across middle and lower Assam. In Dhing constituency, the AIUDF candidate will be Matiur Rahman. In Rupohi, the party has selected Aminul Islam as its nominee. Siddique Ahmed will contest from Laharighat. In Dalgon constituency, the party has named Majibur Rahman. 
Ashraful Hussain has been named the candidate for Chenga constituency. In Pakabetbari, the party will field Minakshi Rahman. Hafiz Rashikul will contest from Mandia. The party has selected Nazrul Haque as its candidate for Dhubri. In Gauripur constituency, the party has given a ticket to Nijannur Rahman.
In East Goalpara, the AIUDF candidate will be Hafiz Basir Kachimi. The party also named Mamun Imdadul Haque Choudhury as its candidate for Chamguri constituency.
With Ajmal himself entering the Assembly race, the campaign is expected to draw attention in Binnakandi and other surrounding constituencies.
The Assam Assembly elections are expected to take place in early 2026. Political parties across the state have started their preparations. In the months ahead, more parties are expected to declare their lists and launch campaigns. For now, AIUDF has taken a lead in announcing a section of its candidates.
