Sangrur Bypoll Results Highlights: SAD-A wins by 5,822 votes

Sangrur Bypoll Results Highlights: SAD-A wins by 5,822 votes

Sangrur Lok Sabha By-election Results 2022 Highlights: The Sangrur Lok Sabha constituency fell vacant earlier this year following the resignation of chief minister Bhagwant Mann who was elected as an MLA from Dhuri in the state assembly elections.

Shiromani Akali Dal-Amritsar (SAD-A) candidate Simranjit Singh Mann has won the Sangrur bypoll seat in Punjab, defeating Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Gurmail Singh by around 5,822 votes after a neck-and-neck battle for hours. The counting of votes took place on Sunday from 8am amid tight security arrangements and the final results were announced at around 2pm. Sangrur was among the three Lok Sabha seats and seven Assembly constituencies where bypolls were necessitated this year.

The seat fell vacant after Bhagwant Mann relinquished as a member of the Parliament to become the chief minister earlier this year. This will be a litmus test for the ruling AAP which came to power in a landslide victory this year.

Opposition parties have been pondering the implications of a reduction in the voting percentage, from 72.4% in 2019 to 45.3% on June 23. The polls are also a prestige battle for the AAP in Punjab which is wary of the fact that a defeat could make the three-month-old Mann-led state government look weak, while for the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), a defeat will further dent the position of party president Sukhbir Singh Badal, who is under fire for successive electoral defeats.

The AAP fielded Gurmail Singh, the party’s Sangrur district in-charge against the main opposition Congress’ former Dhuri MLA Dalvir Singh Goldy. The BJP fielded former Barnala MLA Kewal Dhillon, who had joined the party on June 4.

Meanwhile, the SAD fielded Kamaldeep Kaur, sister of Balwant Singh Rajoana, a convict in former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh’s assassination case.
