Abhay Singh Chautala

INLD secretary general Abhay Singh Chautala's lead thinned over his nearest rival Gobind Kanda of the BJP in the Ellenabad assembly constituency in Haryana, according to latest trends for bypolls.

Counting of votes for the October 30 bypoll to the seat is in progress.

While Chautala maintained a consistent lead during the first seven rounds of counting, the margin dropped from 8,180 votes to 2,985 in the subsequent rounds. There are 16 rounds of counting of votes.

The bypoll was necessitated after Chautala in January resigned as the MLA from the seat in protest against three central farm laws and to stand in solidarity with the farmers who are protesting against these legislations since the past one year.

The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) candidate is leading over Gobind Kanda by a margin of 2,985 votes, according to trends available at 1 pm. While BJP-JJP combine candidate Gobind Kanda is giving a fight to Chautala, opposition Congress' candidate Pawan Beniwal is trailing at third spot.
