Additionally, Er Hage Appa from Ziro of Lower Subansiri district faces no opposition, further solidifying the BJP's position. 
The latest update reveals a total of 5 candidates winning uncontested, including Jikke Tako from Tali, Nyato Dukom from Taliha, Ratu Techi from Sagalee, and Mutchu Mithi from Roing Assembly constituencies. 
Former Chief Minister Nabam Tuki, having served 30 years as MLA from Sagalee, opted to contest parliamentary elections this time, filing his nomination from Aalo.
