BJP candidate Jiwan Gupta leaves from Durga Mata Mandir in Ludhiana after offering prayers.  Counting of votes for the Assembly by-elections has begun.

Gujarat: Counting of votes for Kadi Assembly by-elections underway. Postal ballots are being counted first. Voting was held on 19th June.  BJP's Rajendra Chavda, Congress' Ramesh Chavda and AAP's Jagdish Chavda are among the candidates for the by-elections. Visuals from a counting centre in Mahesana. 

The counting of votes for five seats in Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala, and West Bengal begins amid tight security.

Punjab: SP DK Chaudhary said, "The counting of votes will begin at 8 am. Security was deployed from 5 am itself. There is a three-tier security system. Only authorised persons will be able to enter the counting centre. Around 450 policemen have been deployed. Adequate arrangements have been made."

Security has been tightened outside Ludhiana's Khalsa College for Women, the counting centre for the Ludhiana West bypoll; counting of votes will begin at 8 am. The AAP fielded Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora from the seat. The BJP fielded its leader Jiwan Gupta and the Congress fielded former state minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the CPI(M) are viewing the ongoing bypolls in West Bengal and Kerala, states where they currently hold power, as significant indicators ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. For both parties, a strong performance in these bypolls would serve as a morale booster and a strategic advantage going into the high-stakes electoral battle next year. 

The bypoll result is being seen as a litmus test for the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as it aims to retain its dominance in Punjab. At the same time, the Congress is eyeing an opportunity to reclaim its influence in the urban constituency, which it has successfully held six times in the past. 

The counting of votes to begin at 8 am at Khalsa College.

The bypoll results are set to be announced today.

The Kadi seat, reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates, fell vacant on February 4 following the death of BJP MLA Karsan Solanki.

The BJP has fielded Rajendra Chavda from Kadi, while the Congress has given ticket to former MLA Ramesh Chavda. Chavda won the seat in 2012, but lost it to the BJP's Karsanbhai Solanki in 2017. Like Visavadar, Kadi will also witness a three-way fight, with the AAP fielding Jagdish Chavda.

In the 182-member Gujarat Assembly, the BJP has 161 legislators, the Congress 12 and the AAP four. While one seat is with the Samajwadi Party, two are with independents.

In Gujarat, the Visavadar seat in Junagadh district has been lying vacant since December 2023 after the then AAP legislator Bhupendra Bhayani resigned and joined the ruling BJP. The BJP, Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) fielded their candidates in the two seats. While the BJP fielded Kirit Patel for the bypoll in Visavadar, the Congress gave ticket to Nitin Ranpariya. AAP's former Gujarat president Gopal Italia also contested the bypoll. 
 
Despite its near-total dominance in the state, the BJP has failed to win the Visavadar seat since 2007. Party leaders said they are hopeful of overcoming the 18-year jinx here. In 2022 assembly election, AAP's Bhupendra Bhayani had defeated BJP's Harshad Ribadiya, a Congress turncoat and former MLA, by 7,063 votes.

In the 182-member Gujarat Assembly, the BJP has 161 legislators, the Congress 12 and the AAP four. While one seat is with the Samajwadi Party, two are with independents.

The bypoll was necessitated by the death of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Nasiruddin Ahamed in February. His daughter, Alifa Ahamed, was fielded in the bypoll by the ruling TMC. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) nominated Ashis Ghosh for the contest, while Congress candidate Kabil Uddin Shaikh is in the fray with the support of the CPI(M).

The bypoll is shaping up to be a triangular contest among the TMC, BJP, and the Congress-Left alliance, with identity politics, post-Murshidabad riot anxieties and a nationalist surge after Operation Sindoor set to dominate the electoral discourse.

The by-election for the Nilambur Assembly constituency in Kerala was necessitated after Anvar resigned as MLA of the constituency following his severing of ties with the CPI(M)-led LDF over certain allegations by him against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his close aides. Among the 10, the key contenders are ruling LDF pick M Swaraj, Aryadan Shoukath (Congress-led UDF), Trinamool Congress state convener and independent candidate P V Anvar and Mohan George of the BJP-led NDA.

The bypoll, necessitated following the death of AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi in January, registered 51.33 per cent polling, a sharp drop from the 64 per cent voting registered in the 2022 Assembly polls. There were 14 candidates in the fray for the bypoll.

The June 19 bypoll has been regarded as a litmus test for the ruling AAP as it seeks to maintain its hold over Punjab, while the Congress looks to regain its foothold over the urban constituency which it held six times in the past. While the main contest is between the AAP and Congress, the bypoll outcome will also shed light on how the BJP performs among urban voters in Punjab.

The Aam Aadmi Party fielded Sanjeev Arora (61), a Rajya Sabha member and Ludhiana-based industrialist who is also known for his social welfare work, for the bypoll. On the other hand, the opposition Congress placed its bet on former minister and Punjab Congress working president Bharat Bhushan Ashu (51). The BJP had fielded senior leader Jiwan Gupta, a member of the core committee of the party's Punjab unit, while the SAD named Parupkar Singh Ghuman, a lawyer and the former president of Ludhiana Bar Association, as its candidate.

In the 117-member Punjab assembly, the AAP has 94 legislators, the Congress has 16 MLAs, the Shiromani Akali Dal has three, the BJP two, and the Bahujan Samaj Party one. One seat is held by an Independent.

Kerala:  Security heightened at a counting centre ahead of the counting of votes for the Nilambur bypolls. 

The bypolls were necessitated due to the deaths of incumbent MLAs in one seat each in Gujarat, West Bengal, and Punjab, while the resignation of two legislators prompted the elections in Kerala and another constituency in Gujarat.

Nilambur Assembly segment in Kerala recorded the highest polling percentage of 75.27 per cent, the lowest was recorded in Ludhiana West (51.33 per cent) in Punjab. Kadi saw a voter turnout of 57.91 per cent, Visavadar (56.89 per cent) and Kaliganj (73.36 per cent). 

The seats where polling were held on June 19 are: Kaliganj in West Bengal, Nilambur in Kerala, Ludhiana West in Punjab, and Kadi and Visavadar in Gujarat. 

The counting of votes for by-elections to five Assembly seats across Gujarat, Punjab, West Bengal, and Kerala will begin at 8 am on Monday (June 13) amid tight security. 

Voting for by-elections to five Assembly seats across Gujarat, Punjab, West Bengal, and Kerala was held on June 19.
