Congress won 1 seat, while BJP lost all 4. Both parties may see a leadership rejig in the state. The bypoll victory is expected to reassert Mann’s authority as AAP’s leader in Punjab.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) secured victories in three out of four assembly by-elections in Punjab, strengthening its hold in the state. The Congress managed to win one seat, while the BJP failed to secure any.

The AAP won the Chabbewal, Gidderbaha and Dera Baba Nanak assembly seats, shaking off its dismal performance in the state in the April-May Lok Sabha elections

AAP is leading in Dera Baba Nanak, Chabbewal and Gidderbaha while Congress is leading only on one seat in Barnala. The BJP is at third position in all four seats. Notably, Congress won in Dera Baba Nanak, Chabbewal and Gidderbaha in the 2022 Punjab elections and AAP won in Barnala.

The bypolls were necessitated after the incumbent legislators were elected to the Lok Sabha earlier this year.

Gidderbaha, which five-time Punjab chief minister late Parkash Singh Badal represented for a record five terms from 1969-1985 and later went to his nephew Manpreet Singh Badal from 1995-2007, is considered an Akali bastion.

The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab on Saturday won three of the four Assembly constituencies on which elections were held on November 20, giving a morale boost to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

The vote counting for the by-polls to four assembly seats in Punjab has been completed. According to the results, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has bagged Dera Baba Nanak, Chhabbewal, and Gidderbaha Assembly seats with a significant margin and highest-ever vote share.

Congress candidates Yasir Ahmed Khan Pathan, E Annapoorna and CP Yogeeshwara lead in Shiggaon, Sandur and Channapatna seats respectively, in Assembly by-polls in Karnataka.

AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday termed his party's win in three out of four seats in the Punjab bypolls a "semi-final", asserting that the party is on course for another historic man
