Rejinagar Bypoll Results 2026 Live: The Rejinagar Assembly bypoll in West Bengal is emerging as a closely watched political contest, with BJP candidate Shakharavh Sarkar building a substantial lead as counting progresses on Friday, October 9. The contest has drawn attention because the BJP is seeking its first-ever victory in the constituency, where the Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) had won earlier this year.
Sarkar has moved ahead of Congress candidate Mohammad Abdullahil Kafi and AJUP nominee Gulam Nabi Azad, the son of party chief Humayun Kabir. One reported counting update showed Sarkar with 11,614 votes, compared with 581 for Kafi and 446 for Azad. Other live reports later cited a larger lead for the BJP candidates, so the figures may reflect different counting rounds. The Election Commission’s latest constituency figures should be checked before publishing a definitive margin.
