J. P. Nadda will be the Central Observer (Assam):

In Assam, the Bharatiya Janata Party has secured a majority for the third consecutive time, and preparations to form the government have already begun.

Although the current Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, is considered the BJP’s main face for the post, it will become clear in the coming days who the party officially chooses as the next Chief Minister.
