The seven Assembly constituencies include 166-Andheri East from Maharashtra, 47-Adampur from Haryana, 93-Munugode from Telangana, 139-Gola Gokranath from Uttar Pradesh, and 46-Dhamnagar from Odisha.

In Uttar Pradesh's Gola Gokarnnath bypoll, BJP candidate Aman Giri won with a margin of 34,298 votes. According to the Election Commission, with 1,24,810 votes Giri got 55.88 percent of the total votes. Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate Vinay Tiwari came second with 40.52 percent votes, ANI reported.

The BJP was seeking to retain the Gola Gokarannath seat in Uttar Pradesh, which fell vacant after the death of BJP MLA Arvind Giri in September.

In Odisha, BJP candidate Suryabanshi Suraj won the Dhamnagar bypoll by a margin of 9,881 votes. As per official data, with 80,351 votes, Suraj got 49.09 percent of the total votes, while Biju Janata Dal (BJD) candidate Abanti Das came second with 43.05 percent of the votes.

In the Gopalganj constituency in Bihar, RJD's Mohan Prasad Gupta was defeated by BJP candidate Kusum Devi with a margin of 1,794 votes despite taking an early lead and witnessing a neck-and-neck fight here.
