Gogoi contested the election against BJP heavyweight Sarbananda Sonowal in the Dibrugarh Lok Sabha seat. The Opposition leader had fought the previous year’s Assembly polls in Assam but lost. In the recently concluded parliamentary election in the state, Gogoi was pitted as a united Opposition candidate in Dibrugarh.
