The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to secure another victory in Uttarakhand with its candidates leading in 47 assembly seats while the main opposition Congress is ahead in 18 seats. Though the incumbent BJP headed to a remarkable victory in the hill state, 46-year-old party Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami lost his own election from Khatima constituency in Udham Singh Nagar district at the hands of Congress candidate Bhuwan Chandra Kapri. Dhami last year replaced Tirath Singh Rawat as the CM following the latter’s resignation. Dhami thus became Uttarakhand’s tenth CM and seventh from the BJP.Meanwhile, BSP and Independent candidates were ahead on two seats each. Harish Rawat, former Uttarakhand Chief Minister and senior Congress leader, lost in his Lalkuwa constituency by a big margin. Rawat, who has over a five-decade-old political career, was defeated by BJP candidate, Mohan Singh Bisht, by over 14,000 votes in Lalkuwa. On the other hand, Yashpal Arya, who had returned to the Congress fold from the BJP ahead of the polls, beat BJP’s Rajesh Kumar in Bajpur. The ruling BJP is seeking a second consecutive term in office this time, something which has never happened in the state’s 21-year history. The BJP had won 57 out of the total 70 assembly seats in the state in 2017, while the Congress had won just 11 seats.Here’s the full list of winners/leading candidates from Uttarakhand (To be updated as results pour in):
