    The bypolls were also conducted in Tripura for three Assembly seats: Agartala, Jubarajnagar, Surma, and Town Bordowali.

    Chief Minister Saha, who needs to get elected to keep his post, is the BJP's candidate in Town Bordowali.

    Meanwhile, Durgesh Pathak of the Aam Aadmi Party leads in Rajinder Nagar, Delhi.

    Votes are also being counted in Mandar, Jharkhand, and Atmakuru, Andhra Pradesh.
