Bypoll Results 2025: BJP, Congress, AAP Face-Off in 4 Key States

The bypoll results for five crucial assembly seats across four Indian states-Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala, and West Bengal-will be announced today, June 23. Counting begins at 8 AM, and early trends are expected to emerge shortly after. These by-elections, held on June 19, are seen as a political litmus test ahead of Assembly elections in several of these states.

Both the BJP-led NDA and the INDIA alliance have fielded key candidates in this multi-cornered contest. Here's a state-wise breakdown of the bypolls:

Gujarat Bypoll Results: BJP Eyes Comeback in Visavadar, Kadi

Gujarat witnessed bypolls in two assembly constituencies-Visavadar and Kadi.

Visavadar Seat: Once a BJP stronghold, the seat has remained out of the party's reach since 2007. It became vacant after AAP MLA Bhupendra Bhayani resigned and joined the BJP in 2023.

BJP candidate: Kirit Patel

Congress candidate: Nitin Ranpariya

AAP candidate: Gopal Italia (former AAP Gujarat president)

Kadi Seat (SC Reserved): Located in Mehsana district, this seat was left vacant after the death of BJP MLA Karsan Solanki in February 2024.

BJP candidate: Rajendra Chavda

Congress candidate: Ramesh Chavda

AAP candidate: Jagdish Chavda

Kerala Bypoll Result for Nilambur: Congress, LDF, BJP in Prestigious Battle

In Nilambur, located within Wayanad constituency, the bypoll gained significance due to active campaigning by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. The seat fell vacant after OV Anvar, a two-time MLA formerly aligned with the Left, switched allegiance to Congress and contested as an Independent.

LDF candidate: M Swaraj

UDF (Congress-backed) candidate: Aryadan Shoukath

BJP candidate: Advocate Mohan George

West Bengal Bypoll Result: Kaliganj Sees TMC, BJP, Congress Clash

The Kaliganj constituency in Nadia district went to bypoll after Trinamool MLA Nasiruddin Ahamed passed away earlier this year. His daughter Alifa Ahamed is now contesting the seat for the TMC.

TMC candidate: Alifa Ahamed

BJP candidate: Ashis Ghosh

Congress-CPI(M) supported candidate: Kabil Uddin Shaikh

This contest is crucial for the Trinamool Congress as it faces increasing pressure from the BJP ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.

Punjab Bypoll Result: Ludhiana West Holds Importance for AAP, Congress, BJP

The Ludhiana West seat became vacant after AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi died by suicide in January. The bypoll comes at a time when the AAP government in Punjab is looking to retain its hold following setbacks elsewhere.

AAP candidate: Sanjeev Arora

BJP candidate: Jeewan Gupta

Congress candidate: Bharat Bhushan Ashu

Akali Dal candidate: Parupkar Singh Ghuman

Why These Bypoll Results Matter

These bypolls are more than just local battles. They will test the electoral strength of key national players-BJP, Congress, AAP, and regional outfits-as India prepares for upcoming Assembly elections. The outcomes may influence party strategies, alliances, and leadership narratives across states.
