On Thursday, November 23, 2024, vote counting began for by-elections in 15 Assembly seats across Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Kerala, and Uttarakhand, as well as the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency. The process was conducted under tight security to ensure smooth and fair results.

AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra secured a remarkable victory in the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in Kerala, defeating her closest opponent, LDF's Sathyan Mokeri (71), by an impressive margin of 4 lakh votes. This win surpasses the previous record held by her brother, Rahul Gandhi.

In Karnataka, the ruling Congress secured a victory in all three Legislative Assembly by-election constituencies—Channapatna, Shiggaon, and Sandur—solidifying its dominance in the state.

In Punjab, early trends indicate the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is leading in Chabbewal, Gidderbaha, and Dera Baba Nanak constituencies, while Congress holds an advantage in the Barnala segment as vote counting progresses.

In other states, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is showing a strong performance in Assembly bypolls in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, and Uttarakhand, particularly leading in the Kedarnath constituency. In Kerala, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) maintains a steady lead in the Chelakkara seat.
