Haryana key constituencies live results: The Sohna assembly seat, located in the southern part of Haryana, is witnessing a fierce contest this time, as independent candidates are poised to challenge both the BJP and the Congress. BJP’s Tejpal Tanwar, who is seeking re-election after winning in 2014, is facing Congress’s Rohtas Singh Khatana, a candidate with significant influence among Gujjar voters.

However, the contest is complicated by the presence of two formidable independents, including a former BJP leader who turned rebel after being denied a party ticket.

Haryana key constituencies live results: Uchana Kalan, part of the Jind district, has always been a seat of intense political interest, with a majority Jat population and several political heavyweights vying for dominance. Former deputy chief minister of Haryana and JJP leader Dushyant Chautala is contesting from the seat.

Haryana key constituencies live results: The chief minister’s position as a member of the Saini community, which comprises about 7.5% of Ladwa’s population, may give him an edge. However, the BJP lost here in the 2019 election when Congress’s Mewa Singh secured a victory by a margin of 12,637 votes.

Haryana key constituencies live results: Being dubbed as the most high-profile assembly seat in Haryana, Rohtak's Garhi Sampla-Kiloi assembly constituency will decide the future of Bhupinder Singh Hooda, the former chief minister of Haryana who was fielded against BJP's Manju Hooda. Bhupinder Hooda is being seen as the top choice for the CM candidate if the exit polls, predicting Congress's win turn out to be true.

Haryana key constituencies live results: The Ladwa seat has gained significance due to the candidacy of chief minister Nayab Singh Saini. Elevated to the top post earlier this year, Saini, a leader from the OBC Saini community, is contesting his first assembly election from this constituency. He is pitted against Congress’s sitting legislator Mewa Singh, and Indian National Lok Dal’s (INLD) Sapna Barshami. Independent candidate Sandeep Garg, a former BJP leader and local industrialist, is also in the race.

Haryana key constituencies live results: In Julana, a political showdown is taking place between two women wrestlers, and a professional pilot. Congress candidate Vinesh Phogat is contesting the election against another wrestler, Kavita Dalal of the AAP. The BJP has pitted professional pilot Yogesh Bairagi.

Julana’s electorate, comprising 40% Jat voters, along with a sizable Scheduled Caste and Backward Class population, is divided by issues of unemployment, infrastructure, and education. The outcome in Julana could indicate whether Phogat’s star power can overcome the well-entrenched local leaders.

Haryana key constituencies live results: The stage is all set for the counting of votes for the 90-seat Haryana assembly elections, with the political landscape still remaining unclear in the state - where BJP has had a stronghold since 2014. While the exit polls predicted that the Congress is set to oust the saffron party and for the government in the state for the first time in a decade, the BJP is optimistic about securing a third consecutive term.
