Dampa Bypoll Results Today: Key Test Of Parties In Mizoram Assembly Elections
The assembly elections in Mizoram are a critical event for the entire Northeast region. The contest pitted the incumbent Mizo National Front (MNF) against the Zoram People's Movement (ZPM), the Congress, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The MNF, which had secured 26 seats in 2018 assembly polls, faced a significant challenge from the ZPM (eight seats in 2018) and the Congress (five seats).
J&K Bypolls: Omar Abdullah's Prestige Battle Amid Challenges
The by-election is seen as the first test of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's popularity amid Opposition allegations of poor governance during his last year in office. Abdullah's real target remains the People's Democratic Party (PDP) - the National Conference's (NC) main rival in the Valley.
The Budgam by-election is widely viewed as a contest between the NC and the PDP, even though several other candidates, including from the BJP, are also in the race.
In Nagrota, the main contest is between Devyani Rana of the BJP, Shamim Begum of the National Conference and Harsh Dev Singh of J&K National Panthers Party.
Three-Way Contest In Jubilee Hills: Battle Between Congress, BRS, BJP
The Jubilee Hills Assembly by-poll is widely seen as a test of strength for the Congress, an attempt by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi to revive its fortunes, and the Bharatiya Janata Party looking to establish itself in Telangana. There are a total of 59 candidates in the contest.
The electoral race is primarily a triangular battle between the Congress, the BRS, and the BJP. The Congress has fielded Naveen Yadav, who is backed by Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM, and the BJP has put up Lankala Deepak Reddy.
The BRS has nominated Maganti Sunitha, whose husband, Maganthi Gopinath, was the sitting MLA.
For the BRS, a win will signal resurgence and validation, proving its resilience and ability to retain established strongholds in Hyderabad despite recent setbacks in the 2023 Assembly and 2024 Lok Sabha elections. It will also boost morale ahead of the 2028 Assembly election. And a loss would deepen that post-electoral decline, making it harder for the BRS to regain political relevance and consolidate its position as the main opposition force.
