The Assam Jatiya Parishad has raised objections to the recent poll outcome, alleging inconsistencies in the Election Commission’s Statement of Issues and Recommendations (SIR) report.
The regional party Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) has formally questioned the validity of the latest election results in the state, citing what it describes as discrepancies in the Election Commission of India's (ECI) Statement of Issues and Recommendations (SIR) report. AJP officials said the SIR document, which is meant to address procedural concerns, contains contradictions that could have affected the counting process.
In a statement released to the media, the party demanded a thorough review of the SIR findings and called for an independent audit of the vote tally. It argued that without clarification of these issues, the credibility of the poll outcome remains in doubt.
The Election Commission, for its part, has acknowledged the existence of differences in the SIR report but has not yet indicated any corrective action. Observers note that the dispute comes ahead of the final certification of results, a stage that could determine the composition of the state assembly.
AJP’s challenge adds to a growing list of post‑poll grievances in Assam, where multiple parties are scrutinising the electoral process after a closely contested race. The matter is expected to be examined by the commission in the coming days, with the final decision likely to influence the political landscape of the state.
