    Bypolls results: AAP wins Jalandhar parliamentary seat with huge margin

    What's the story

    The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s Sushil Kumar Rinku won Punjab's Jalandhar Lok Sabha seat with a huge margin on Saturday.

    In a four-cornered race, the AAP maintained the lead from the beginning. The Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) were also in the race.

    The AAP was reportedly certain to win and began the celebrations soon after early trends emerged.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    On Wednesday, voter turnout for the Jalandhar parliamentary bypoll was over 54%.

    The seat became vacant after Congress MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary died of a heart attack during his party's Bharat Jodo Yatra in January.

    The AAP, the state's ruling party, the Congress, the BJP, and the SAD were competing for votes in the Dalit stronghold.

    AAP MP Raghav Chadha congratulates Rinku

    AAP is back in the Lok Sabha!

    Congratulations to @AamAadmiParty’s Sushil Kumar Rinku on winning the Jalandhar by-poll.

    Thank you, Jalandhar!

    Today’s win reflects the strengthening of people’s faith in @ArvindKejriwal’s leadership and @BhagwantMann’s pro-people governance.
