Bypoll results: RLD ahead in Kairana, BJP leading in Maharashtra's Palghar

May 31, 2018 09:35

The Election Commission began counting of votes on Thursday to declare the results of by-elections held on May 28 in four Lok Sabha and 10 assembly constituencies.

The bypoll results, especially in Uttar Pradeshs Kairana Lok Sabha constituency, could set the tone for the 2019 general elections, say analysts.

In Kairana, the opposition put up a common candidate against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in hope of repeating its success in the Gorakhpur and Phulpur by-elections in March.

As of now, RLD's Tabassum Hasan is leading by over 3000 votes over BJP's Mriganka Singh.

Meanwhile, BJPs Gavit Rajendra Dhedya is leading from the Palghar Lok Sabha seat.

The bypolls were marred by complaints of electronic voting machines and Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail machines malfunctioning, which necessitated repolling in some booths in Kairana and Palghar and one booth in Nagaland.
