Dubbak By-poll Election Results Updates: BJP leads in Telangana
The Dubbak by-poll elections were conducted on November 3, 2020 and the results are to be declared today (November 10, 2020). The candidates from top-3 parties in the fray are Solipeta Sujatha from Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) ; Cheruku Madhavaneni Raghunandan Rao from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP); and Srinivas Reddy from Indian National Congress (INC).
This by-poll came to existence following the death of TRS sitting legislator Solipeta Ramalinga Reddy. TRS fielded the wife of S. Ramalinga Reddy, Solipeta Sujatha and is hopeful to retain the seat. However, early counting results and trends show that BJP is ahead of TRS by a margin of 3,000 votes after completion of eight rounds of counting. Though it is early to say who will win but these initial results show surprise as BJP is leading. After the end of nine rounds, EVM polled votes for the top parties are as follows: TRS: 25,101; BJP: 29,291; and Congress: 5,800 . There are still another 14 rounds for counting to get completed, thus its difficult to predict whether TRS or BJP emerge victorious at this point of time.
The Dubbak by-poll outcome has no effect on TRS govt since it already has 100 seats out of 119 in the Assembly.
Update: After Round 18, the aggregate vote count shows the narrowing of BJP’s lead over TRS. The total votes after round 18 stand as follows: TRS - 50,293 ; BJP - 50,467; and Congress - 17,389.
Update: After completion of final round 25, BJP emerge victorious over TRS by garnering 62,984 votes in comparison to TRS tally of 61,553. Congress emerged third with a voting count of 22,054.
