Bypoll Election Results 2024 Live Updates: Voting is over for 2 Lok Sabha seats, Wayanad and Nanded, and 46 Assembly seats in 13 states.
In Wayanad, where Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is making her electoral debut and where she's leading by over 3,00,000 votes, AICC General Secretary is confident of delivering a thumping win for the Congress-led UDF in the hill constituency.
Meanwhile, in Nanded, there's a straight fight between Congress's Ravindra Chavan and BJP's Santukrao Hambarde who is presently the BJP candidate leading. The bypoll was necessitated by the death of sitting Congress MP Vasant Chavan on August 26.
Bypolls for 15 assembly constituencies across Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Kerala, and Uttarakhand were held on Wednesday, November 20. Besides that, results for Rajasthan, West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, and Karnataka by-elections are awaited.
In Uttar Pradesh, elections were held in Katehari, Karhal, Meerapur, Ghaziabad, Majhawan, Sisamau, Khair, Phulpur, and Kundarki. Out of the nine constituencies, BJP is currently leading in five.
In bypolls to nine assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh, a total of 49.3 per cent voters cast their votes on Wednesday with Ghaziabad logging just 33 per cent. The voter turnout in Ghaziabad was 33.3 per cent, Katehari (56.9 per cent), Khair (46.3 per cent), Kundarki (57.7 per cent), Karhal (54.1 per cent), Majhawan (50.41 per cent), Meerapur (57.1 per cent), Phulpur (43.43 per cent) and Shisamau (49.1 per cent).
In Punjab, four constituencies—Gidderbaha, Dera Baba Nanak, Chabbewal (SC), and Barnala—voted. By-elections were necessitated by the reason that the legislators elected in these constituencies to the Lok Sabha had been elected during general elections earlier this year. The AAP and Congress have each won one seat for now.
Besides Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, other seats for which bypolls were held include Palakkad and Chelakkara in Kerala, Kedarnath in Uttarakhand, seven assembly seats in Rajasthan, six in West Bengal, five in Assam, four in Bihar, and three in Karnataka.
