Bypolls To 3 Lok Sabha, 7 Assembly Seats Today

Bypolls to three Lok Sabha and seven assembly seats are taking place across six states today. The results of these votes will be announced on Sunday (June 26). Bypolls in Azamgarh were necessitated by the resignation of Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, who was elected to the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly as an MLA in the elections earlier this year. The Rampur seat was vacated by senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan, who too was elected to the state Assembly.  Bypoll in Sangrur, Punjab was called after Bhagwant Mann vacated the seat after winning the assembly polls. He is currently the state's chief minister.
