Ghosi Bypoll Results highlights: SP defeats BJP, wins by 42,759 votes

Sep 08, 2023 08:56 PM IST

Ghosi Bypoll Results highlights: According to the Election Commission of India (ECI), around 50% of the electorate voted in the September 5 byelection.

Ghosi Bypoll Results highlights: The Samajwadi Party (SP) has won by defeating the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the September 5 Ghosi assembly seat bypoll. The SP's Sudhakar Singh bagged 1,24,427 votes, while BJP's Dara Singh Chauhan got 81,668 votes.

The bypoll was necessitated because of the resignation of Chauhan, the sitting legislator from Ghosi. In July, Chauhan resigned as an MLA and returned to the BJP; he joined the SP from the BJP in January last year ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. While the saffron party won the elections, Chauhan was victorious from Ghosi.

For the byelection, meanwhile, the Congress opted to support the Samajwadi candidate, while former chief minister Maywati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), too, did not field its candidate.
