The counting of votes and results declaration was completed on 19 May 2016. The election brought a change of power as the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC), which had formed the government under [[Tarun Gogoi]] since 2001, lost its majority to the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP, lit "Indian People's Party") led by [[Sarbananda Sonowal]]. Sonowal became the first elected BJP chief minister in the Northeast, and his victory marked the start of other BJP victories in the Northeast, a region traditionally ruled by regional parties or the INC.
