    What's the story

    In a blow for the Samajwadi Party (SP), BJP candidate Ghanshyam Singh Lodhi defeated SP nominee and Azam Khan's long-time colleague Asim Raja by over 42,000 votes in the Rampur Lok Sabha bypolls, The Indian Express reported.

    The Election Commission of India (ECI) is yet to publicly declare the results. However, Lodhi has been named the winner, according to local SP and BJP leaders.

    Results

    The Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Durgesh Pathak won the Rajinder Nagar bypolls in Delhi by a margin of roughly 11,000 votes, as per reports.

    Meanwhile, Tripura Chief Minister and BJP candidate Manik Saha defeated Congress's Ashish Kumar Saha in the Town Bordowali bypolls by 6,104 votes.

    The contest was a do-or-die situation for Saha as he needed to win to keep his CM position.

    Details

    Candidates in Delhi, Andhra Pradesh

    In Delhi, Rajesh Bhatia, a former councilor from Rajinder Nagar, was the BJP candidate while Prem Lata was the Congress nominee.

    Andhra Pradesh held a bypoll to fill a vacancy left by the death of the state's Industries Minister Mekapati Goutham Reddy in February.

    While the YSR Congress Party fielded Reddy's brother Vikram, G Bharat Kumar Yadav was the BJP's candidate.

    Information

    Bypolls for other Tripura seats

    Apart from the Town Bardowali constituency, bypolls were also conducted in Tripura for three Assembly seats: Agartala, Jubarajnagar, and Surma. While the BJP won three of the four seats, including Town Bordowali, the Congress bagged the Agartala seat.

    UP and Punjab

    BJP candidate has edge in Azamgarh too

    In Azamgarh, UP BJP's Dinesh Lal was also holding a slight advantage over Samajwadi Party candidate Dharmendra Yadav in this election.

    In Punjab's Sangrur, the AAP has fielded Gurmail Singh, its Sangrur district in charge; the Congress had fielded Dalvir Singh Goldy, a former Dhuri MLA; and the BJP had fielded Kewal Dhillon, a former Barnala MLA who joined the party on June 4.

    Contest

    Triangular contest in Jharkhand

    The Jharkhand bypoll was necessitated as MLA Bandhu Tirkey was disqualified after being convicted in a corruption case.

    Later, Congress nominated his daughter, Shilpi Neha Tirkey, as the ruling JMM-led coalition's common candidate, while the BJP chose former MLA Gangotri Kujur.

    Dev Kumar Dhan, an independent candidate supported by Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM, also ran in the Jharkhand bypoll.
