Of the 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in the region, 14 are in Assam, two each in Manipur, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, and Meghalaya, and one each in Nagaland, Mizoram, and Sikkim. The BJP rules the first six States on its own or in partnership with regional members of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

The NDA bagged 16 seats, three fewer than the 19 it won in 2019. The BJP’s tally also came down from 14 to 13 although the party won the same number of seats – nine in Assam and two each in Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura – as in 2019.

While the NDA upped the number of seats in Assam from nine five years ago to 11 this time, it received a setback in Manipur, Meghalaya, and Nagaland.

The Congress caused a major upset by wresting the Inner Manipur and Outer Manipur seats from the BJP and the Naga People’s Front (NPF) respectively, the Tura seat in Meghalaya from the National People’s Party (NPP), and the Nagaland seat from the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP).

The NPP, NPF, and NDPP are constituents of the NDA. The Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and the United People’s Party, Liberal (UPPL) reduced the loss for the NDA by winning the Barpeta and Kokrajhar seats in Assam.
