Bypolls 2024 Highlights: Several Injured In Poll Violence In Bengal And Bihar

Background

Bypolls 2024: Please follow this space for all the latest news and updates on the byelections to 31 assembly seats and Wayanad Lok Sabha seats. The voting began for all the 31 assembly seats and Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, from where Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi is making her electoral debut. 

The bypolls have been necessitated in most of the seats after sitting legislators successfully contested the Lok Sabha polls. At the same time, in some constituencies, it is being held due to the death of the representative. 

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi contested the Lok Sabha polls from Wayanad and Raebareli and won both seats. However, he decided to vacate the Wayanad seat, which his sister Priyanka Gandhi will contest. 

Voting will be held in nine seats in Uttar Pradesh, seven in Rajasthan, six in West Bengal, five in Assam, four in Bihar, three in Karnataka, two in Madhya Pradesh, and one each in Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Kerala, and Meghalaya.

Two seats in Sikkim were also in the fray, Soreng-Chakung and Namchi-Singhithang. However, Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) nominees Aditya Golay and Satish Chandra Rai were declared winners unopposed after their rivals withdrew from the race. 

Competing against Priyanka Gandhi are Left Democratic Front's Sathyan Mokeri and National Democratic Alliance's Navya Haridas among 13 others. Wayanad faces a key test as Congress aims not only to hold onto the party's stronghold but also to widen the victory margin her brother, Rahul Gandhi, achieved in the last two elections. 

Bypolls are being held on the following seats. 

Assam: Dholai, Sidli, Bongaigaon, Behali, and Samurai

Bihar: Ramgarh, Tarari, Imamganj, and Belaganj

Chhattisgarh: Raipur City South

Gujarat: Vav

Karnataka: Shiggaon, Sandur, and Channapatna
