Bypolls Result 2023 Winners:  The results of the 2023 bypolls for seven assembly seats across six states have been declared. Counting of votes commenced at 8 AM on Friday, revealing significant outcomes. The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) successfully retained the Bageshwar assembly seat in Uttarakhand, where its candidate Parwati Dass secured victory by a margin of more than 2,400 votes against Congress' Basant Kumar. Meanwhile, in Jharkhand, JMM candidate Bebi Devi emerged victorious in the Dumri seat, surpassing AJSU-P's Yashoda Devi by a substantial margin of over 17,000 votes.

These bypolls have garnered substantial attention as they serve as a litmus test for the opposition alliance I.N.D.I.A against the BJP-led NDA ahead of upcoming assembly polls in five states and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The seven seats contested included Bageshwar (Uttarakhand), Ghosi (Uttar Pradesh), Puthuppally (Kerala), Dhupguri (West Bengal), Dumri (Jharkhand), Boxanagar, and Dhanpur (Tripura), with voting taking place on September 5.

The Ghosi bypoll was necessitated by the resignation of sitting legislator Dara Singh Chauhan, who had returned to the BJP from the Samajwadi Party (SP) in July.
