Byelection results in four Assembly constituencies – Khardah, Santipur, Dinhata and Gosaba – will be announced tomorrow, November 2. Elections in these seats were held on October 30.
For Khardah, Trinamool candidate Kajal Sinha had died even before the results were announced. Trinamool had won the seat. Trinamool’s Gosaba candidate Jayanta Naskar had died after the results, and he had sworn in as the MLA. Two other seats – in Cooch Behar’s Dinhata and Nadia’s Santipur – both BJP’s winning candidates Nishith Pramanick and Jagannath Sarkar – had given up their Assembly seats as they wanted to continue being MPs as they had been elected in 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
For counting, a large contingent of police personnel has been deployed, and round-the-clock guarding of the EVMs has been in place since the elections were completed on October 30.
