RAMGARH: AJSU Party candidate Sunita Choudhary gained the by-poll to Jharkhand’s Ramgarh seat on Thursday, defeating UPA-backed Congress’ Bajrang Mahto by a margin of 21,970 votes, the Election Commission mentioned.
The AJSU Party, which tied up with the BJP for the by-poll, secured 1,15,669 votes, whereas the Congress, an ally of the ruling JMM-led coalition, bagged 93,699 votes after the completion of counting, it mentioned.
Counting of votes for the Ramgarh meeting by-election started at 8 am.
A voter turnout of over 67.96 per cent was recorded within the bypoll, which was held on February 27.
Though 18 candidates, together with 14 Independents, had been within the fray, the competition was primarily between the Congress and the AJSU Party.
The by-election was necessitated because of the disqualification of Congress legislator Mamta Devi, following her conviction in a legal case.
