The trend of Dholai (SC) is yet to come in.

The counting of votes for five assembly constituencies where byelections were held on November 13 began amid tight security from 8 am to decide the fate of 34 candidates.

Bypolls were held in the five assembly constituencies as these fell vacant following the election of the previous representatives to the Lok Sabha earlier this year. The BJP contested in three of the five constituencies- Behali, Samaguri and Dholai (SC) while its alliance partner AGP and UPPL had put up candidates for Bongaigaon and Sidli(ST) seats respectively.

The Congress contested in all the five constituencies.

Around 75.67 per cent of the electorate exercised their franchise in these five assembly constituencies.
