Guwahati: Outgoing Lok Sabha opposition leader Gaurav Gogoi is leading by 17,065 votes over his nearest BJP rival and sitting MP Topon Gogoi in Assam's key Jorhat constituency, Election Commission officials said.

Gogoi shifted to Jorhat in this election after his erstwhile Kaliabor constituency was reorganized to create Kaziranga seat in the delimitation process in the state last year. He won the Kaliabor seat in 2019 by over 2.09 lakh votes.
