The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has made a clean sweep of the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council (NCHAC) elections in Assam, while main rival Congress suffered a humiliating situation with no seat in their kitty. 

Of the total 28 seats that underwent elections, BJP has bagged a total of 25 seats so far putting them in absolute majority. Meanwhile, three seats have been won by independent candidates. 

Congress, BJP's main rival in the fray, on the other hand has suffered a humiliating defeat with not a single seat in their kitty. 

With this, the road is clear for the BJP to retain power in the NCHAC. Also, incumbent CEM Debolal Gorlosa is set to return as the head of the hill council, as had been stated by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma earlier to media.
