The 13th Assam Legislative Assembly election was held in two phases on 4 and 11 April 2011 to elect members from 126 constituencies in Assam, India. The result was announced on 13 May.

Background

After the 2006 elections, the Indian National Congress and Bodoland People's Front formed a coalition government. During this period, the Assam government headed by Tarun Gogoi made significant overtures to bring the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) to the negotiating table. A number of ULFA militants who had surrendered to the government forces contested the elections. The government emphasised also "peace and development" under the last ten years of Congress government. The main opposition party, Asom Gana Parishad, stood for regionalist sentiments. The Bharatiya Janata Party promoted anti-immigrant sentiments in Assam as a communal or sectarian conflict.

Aftermath

The elections resulted in a landslide victory for the Indian National Congress, with 78 seats for the Congress and 12 for the Bodoland People's Front. Tarun Gogoi became the second Chief Minister to be elected to three consecutive term after Bimala Prasad Chaliha and subsequently formed the Third Tarun Gogoi Ministry. The BPF remained in government, although the Congress had sufficient seats to form the government alone. The AIUDF emerged as the largest opposition party and won 18 of 126 seats.

The Congress did well across all the demographics of the state. ULFA leader, Arabinda Rajkhowa, was conciliatory towards the Assam government after the elections. Rajkhowa declared that "We have great expectations from his [Gogoi's] government. We hope it will work for peace and a final political settlement in Assam".
