Ludhiana west bypoll result 2025: The counting of by -elections in Ludhiana West Assembly seat, which is considered important in the politics of Punjab, will be held on Monday. This election is being seen as a direct competition between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress of Punjab. While BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) are also trying to register their presence.

In fact, a total of 51.33% voting was recorded in the polling held on June 19, which is about 13 percent less than the 2022 assembly elections. This by -election was conducted on the death of AAP MLA Gurpreet Basi Gogi. The Aam Aadmi Party has fielded Rajya Sabha MP and industrialist Sanjeev Arora, while the Congress has given ticket to former minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu.

Battle of ‘Humility vs.

During the election campaign, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann called this by -election a battle of “humility vs.”. Arvind Kejriwal also announced the appointment of Arora as a cabinet minister, which further edited the election. The Congress also campaigned aggressively and tried to re -establish its old credibility.

BJP and SAD’s litmus test

The BJP has nominated senior leader Jeevan Gupta as a candidate. While SAD gave ticket to lawyer Parupakar Singh Ghumman. For BJP, this election is a test of its growing grip in Ludhiana urban area. At the same time, under the leadership of Sukhbir Singh Badal, SAD is considering this election as a chance towards revival.

Picture of political equations

At present, out of 117 seats in the Punjab Assembly, AAP has 94 MLAs, while Congress has 16, SAD 3, BJP 2 and BSP have 1 MLA. One seat is with independents. In such a situation, the result of Ludhiana West by -election will be helpful in preparing further strategy for both power and opposition.

Preparations for counting complete

A senior official said that the counting of votes will be done at Khalsa College for Women, Ludhiana. Where strict security arrangements have been made. A total of 14 candidates are in the fray, but the real contest is being considered between ‘AAP’ and the Congress.

Results will give the direction of upcoming politics

This by -election can prove to be not only local representation but also to decide the direction of the upcoming politics of the state. For the Aam Aadmi Party, this seat is not only a fight for prestige, but also an opportunity to get the lost land after the defeat in the recent Lok Sabha elections. At the same time, the Congress is expecting a return to this seat.
