By-Election Results 2026 Live: BJP Leads Across States, Sunetra Pawar Dominates Baramati
Counting for the By-Election Results 2026 got underway on May 4 across seven constituencies spread over Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Nagaland, and Tripura, setting the stage for a multi-state political test. Early trends point towards an advantage for the Bharatiya Janata Party, though regional contests are throwing up varied and closely watched outcomes.
In Maharashtra, Sunetra Pawar has established a commanding lead in the high-profile Baramati bypoll, building a strong early margin. The seat, long considered a Pawar family stronghold, has emerged as one of the most closely watched contests.
In Karnataka, the Congress has gained the upper hand in Bagalkot, where its candidate is leading by a notable margin. However, the BJP continues to hold its advantage in Davanagere South, reflecting a mixed picture in the state.
Elsewhere, BJP candidates are ahead in multiple constituencies, including Umreth in Gujarat and Koridang in Nagaland. In Tripura’s Dharmanagar seat, the party has opened up a significant lead, indicating strong performance in the northeastern region. In Maharashtra’s Rahuri constituency, BJP candidate Akshay Kardile is ahead by a substantial margin, further strengthening the party’s overall position in the bypoll trends.
Overall, the early counting trends suggest a BJP edge across states, but with pockets of resistance from Congress and regional players shaping a competitive landscape. With several rounds still to be counted, the final verdict remains open, and momentum shifts could redefine the outcome as the day progresses.
