Jorhat Elections Result 2024: Congress candidate Gaurav Gogoi has won the Jorhat Lok Sabha seat in Assam, defeating his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rival Topon Gogoi by a substantial margin. Gaurav secured 7,51,771 votes, while Topon managed to garner 6,07,378 votes, thereby winning by a margin of 1,44,393 votes. This was the first time the two-time MP Gaurav contested from Jorhat in upper Assam. Gaurav’s family’s pocket borough Kaliabor — it was represented for nearly three decades by his father and former Assam CM Tarun Gogoi, uncle Dip Gogoi, and then him — was redrawn, transformed, and renamed Kaziranga in last year’s delimitation of parliamentary and Assembly constituencies. The contest has become a prestige battle, a two-way fight between Gaurav and sitting MP Topon Gogoi of the BJP. The BJP leader is also a former MLA of Sonari, one of the Assembly segments of the parliamentary seat.
