Channapatna election results

The Channapatna by-election was held on November 3, 2023, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of JD(S) MLA C. P. Yogeshwar. The by-election was a closely fought contest between Yogeshwar, who contested as an Independent candidate, and BJP's A. Manju.
Yogeshwar won the election by a margin of 11,944 votes, securing 52.40% of the total votes polled. Manju came second with 42.11% of the votes.
The by-election was seen as a test of the popularity of the ruling BJP government in Karnataka. The BJP's defeat in Channapatna is a setback for the party, which has been facing growing discontent from the people.
The by-election was also a blow to the JD(S), which had been hoping to regain its lost ground in Channapatna. The party's defeat has raised questions about its future prospects in the state.
The by-election result is a reflection of the growing dissatisfaction among the people with the BJP government. The people are tired of the government's broken promises and its failure to address their concerns. The by-election result is a wake-up call for the BJP, which needs to course correct its policies if it wants to stay in power in Karnataka.
