The Bharatiya Janata Party now has another member in the Rajya Sabha from Assam after Biswajit Daimary was elected unopposed to the upper house of Parliament on Monday.

Mr Daimary, 49, was declared the winner of the by-election to a Rajya Sabha seat from the state after no other candidate filed nominations. Monday was the last day for withdrawing candidature, election officials said.

The Rajya Sabha seat was vacant after Mr Daimary had quit his party - Bodoland People's Front (BPF) and resigned from the upper house in November last year. He then joined the ruling BJP.
