Guwahati: The Gauhati High Court has issued summons regarding an election petition filed by Congress candidate Hafiz Rashid Ahmed Choudhury, contesting the 2024 General Election results for the Karimganj (Parliamentary) Constituency in Assam. The petition, heard by Justice Sanjay Kumar Medhi on Monday, challenges the victory of BJP candidate Kripanath Mallah, who won by a narrow margin of 1.6% votes.

Choudhury, a Senior Advocate, has alleged multiple instances of ‘corrupt practices’ by the BJP candidate during the campaign and election day, prompting legal action. This development is critical as it highlights allegations of electoral malpractices in a tightly contested parliamentary seat, potentially impacting the political landscape in Northeast India.
