Assam: AGP student wing makes inroads into AASU stronghold, wins 10 posts at Kaliabor College

The Asom Chhatra Parishad (ACP), the student wing of the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), has made a major electoral breakthrough at Kaliabor College, winning 10 posts, including president and general secretary, in the 2026-27 students’ union elections.

The ACP won a majority of the key posts in the students’ union election, which was held for the 2026-27 academic session.

Four candidates backed by the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) also emerged victorious in the election.

The election marked the first time that the Asom Chhatra Parishad contested the Kaliabor College students’ union election. The college has traditionally been considered an AASU stronghold.

The ACP's victory in its debut electoral contest has therefore been seen as a significant development in campus politics, with the AGP-affiliated student organisation managing to wrest control of the students’ union from the AASU-backed group.

Following the declaration of results, ACP supporters and students celebrated the victory on the college campus.

The outcome is also likely to provide a boost to the ACP as it seeks to expand its presence among students across Assam.
