Karnataka by Election Results 2024

On November 13, 2024, by-elections were held in three assembly constituencies in Karnataka: Channapatna, Shiggaon, and Sandur. The counting of votes was held on November 15, and the results were declared on November 16.

The Congress party swept all three seats, defeating the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Janata Dal (Secular) (JDS). The victory is a major boost for the Congress party, which has been facing a losing streak in recent elections.

In Channapatna, the Congress candidate, C.P. Yogeshwar, defeated the BJP candidate, Nikhil Kumaraswamy, by a margin of over 20,000 votes. In Shiggaon, the Congress candidate, Mallamma Bheemanna Khandre, defeated the JDS candidate, Ramesh Bhusanur, by a margin of over 15,000 votes.

In Sandur, the Congress candidate, E. Annapurna, defeated the BJP candidate, Lakshmi Hebbalkar, by a margin of over 10,000 votes. The victory in Sandur is particularly significant as it is the home constituency of former chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa.

The Congress party's victory in the Karnataka by-elections is a sign of the party's resurgence in the state. The party has been facing a tough challenge from the BJP, which has been in power in Karnataka since 2014. However, the Congress party's victory in these by-elections shows that the party is still a force to be reckoned with in Karnataka.

The BJP's defeat in the by-elections is a setback for the party. The party had hoped to win at least one of the three seats, but it was unable to do so. The defeat is likely to put pressure on the BJP government in Karnataka, which is already facing criticism for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The JDS also failed to win any of the three by-elections. The party's defeat is a sign of its waning popularity in Karnataka. The party has been in decline since it lost power in 2018, and it is unclear if it will be able to recover.

The Karnataka by-elections were a significant event in Indian politics. The results of the elections show that the Congress party is still a force to be reckoned with in Karnataka, and that the BJP and JDS are facing an uphill battle in the state.
