The Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress are leading in two seats each out of the eight constituencies where the counting of votes in Assembly bye-elections is underway.

At 11.30 am, BJP candidate Devyani Rana was leading in Jammu and Kashmir’s Nagrota and and Jay Dholakia in Odisha’s Nuapada. The Congress’ Pramod Jain was leading in Rajasthan’s Anta and Naveen Yadav V in Telangana’s Jubilee Hills.

Aam Aadmi Party’s Harmeet Singh Sandhu was ahead of Shiromani Akali Dal’s Sukhwinder Kaur in Tarn Taran, Punjab.

Somesh Chandra Soren from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, a Congress ally, was leading from Jharakhand’s Ghatsila.

The National Conference’s Aga Syed Mahmood Al-Mosavi was leading in Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam, while the Mizo National Front’s R Lalthangliana was ahead in Mizoram’s Dampa.

The polling in the eight constituencies in seven states took place on Tuesday. The results are not expected to lead to significant changes to the composition of the Legislative Assemblies.

The polls in Budgam were necessitated after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah resigned from the seat. During the Assembly polls in October 2024, besides Budgam, Abdullah had won from Ganderbal, which he retained.

In Nagrota, the bye-polls were scheduled following the death of BJP MLA Devender Singh Rana in late October 2024. MLA Ramdas Soren died in Jharkhand’s Ghatsila.

In Jubilee Hills, Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLA Maganti Gopinath died in June, Kashmir Singh Sohal in Tarn Taran, Lalrintluanga Saila in Dampa and Rajendra Dholakia in Nuapada.

The bye-polls in Rajasthan’s Anta were necessitated after Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Kanwarlal Meena was disqualified after being convicted in a criminal case.

The provisional voter turnout in Nagrota was 75%, Budgam 50%, Ghatsila 74.6%, Dampa 82.3%, Nuapada 79%, Tarn Taran 60.9%, Anta 80.3% and Jubilee Hills 48.2%.
