Bypoll Election Results 2023: Counting For 7 Assembly Seats Begins, Results Today

Seven assembly seats in six states that underwent polls on Tuesday (September 5) are to be counted on Friday.

The outcomes of the election are considered as a test for the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) grouping against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA before the key Lok Sabha elections in 2024 and the five state assembly elections scheduled later this year.

The seven seats are in the states of Uttarakhand’s Bageshwar, Uttar Pradesh’s Ghosi, Kerala’s Puthuppally, West Bengal’s Dhupguri, Jharkhand’s Dumri, and Tripura’s Boxanagar and Dhanpur.

While the BJP held the seats in Bageshwar, Dhupguri, and Dhanpur, the Samajwadi Party held the seat in Ghosi, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) held the seat in Boxanagar, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) held the seat in Dumri, and the Congress held the seat in Puthuppally.

Only 49.42% of voters in the Ghosi Assembly constituency in Uttar Pradesh turned out to vote in the by-polls on Tuesday.

Dumri in Jharkhand saw a 64.84 percent participation, while Bageshwar in Uttarakhand saw a 55.35 percent attendance.

In contrast, Boxanagar and Dhanpur in Tripura had 86.34 percent and 81.88 percent of voters turnout, respectively, while Dhupguri in Bengal saw 74.35 percent.
