2018 Noapara Assembly Seat in West Bengal By Election Results Declared Today Thursday Feb 01,2018


Trinamool Congress Wins Both Uluberia Lok Sabha and Naopara Assembly Seats by a Big Margin

The by-election results of Uluberia Lok Sabha and Noapara Assembly seats, where counting starts at 7 am, will be a litmus test for the BJP, which is desperately eyeing fresh pastures in the state in the upcoming rural polls as much as they have been prestige fights for the ruling TMC

In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, TMC had won 34 out of the 44 parliamentary seats in Bengal. The Congress bagged four while the Left and BJP won two seats each. The TMC swept the 2016 Bengal state polls by winning 211 out of the 294 seats. The Congress was a distant second with 44 seats. The Left won 32 and the BJP six seats

The death of two-time TMC MP Sultan Ahmed had left the Uluberia parliamentary seat in Howrah vacant, while the death of Congress MLA Madhusudan Ghose necessitated the Noapara Assembly by-poll in North 24 Parganas district.

At Noapara, the BJP nominated Sandip Banerjee against TMC’s Sunil Singh, a relative of local Trinamool heavyweight Arjun Singh.

The elections were held on January 29 amid allegations of sporadic violence and electoral malpractice against the TMC.

76% Votes Cast in Noapara in the Monday Jan 29,2018 by-poll

TMCs Sunil Singh won the Noapara assembly seat by-poll with a huge 1,11,729 votes, defeating his nearest rival from the BJP by more than 70,000 votes. CPI (M) was relegated to a distant third in the multi-cornered contest.
