By Election results 2015

A By-election is also known by the name of Special Election. This Election is basically held between general elections to fill a vacant seat of a member of legislative assembly in a particular constituency as a result of his/her incompetency, unfortunate demise or made to vacate their seat due to some criminal proceeding against them. (Source: Wikipedia)

It won’t be unfair to state that most of the By-elections held in India are either go unnoticed or they are ignored by the grandness of general elections. The events of by-elections from its starting to its outcome are covered and reported only by few and only a particular constituency exudes interest in the proceedings. So, here we’ll try to provide you with the latest outcomes of By-Elections 2015 that was held across different places in India.

By Election Results 2015:

This year By-Elections held in basically these 5 States: Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Tripura, Meghalaya and Karnataka.

The By Election results 2015 in the state of Kerala saw Congress-led coalition government as the victors. This was considered to be an important by-election for them and it is a big positive for them which came at a time when they are tackling an array of corruption charges. The candidate from the congress was KS Sabarinathan, who won the state legislature from Aruvikkara by a margin of more than 10,000 votes. It seems like congress won this seat easily but it is not what it seem as they got 349 votes less than what they got in 2011. This year the voter turnout was increased by 7% as compared to last By-Election.
