Kumar abhay, Member of Legislative Assembly, Belagavi Dakshin, Karnataka

The counting of votes for the Karnataka bypoll election result began 8 am today and results are likely to be declared by this afternoon. The result will decide the fate of BJP government in the state, and also of the rebel MLAs who had sought the re-election following their resignation from erstwhile Congress-JD(S) coalition. The bypolls were held on December 5 for 15 Assembly seats, left vacant by MLAs who resigned in July, triggering the collapse of the Congress-JDS coalition and paving the way for the BJP to come to power. The ruling BJP needs to win at least seven seats to claim a majority in the House, which will have a strength of 224 after the bypolls, with 2 seats still vacant. The BJP currently has 105 MLAS (106 including the support of an independent candidate) while the Congress has 66 and the JDS 34. Twelve of the 15 seats were previously held by the Congress and the remaining three by the Janata Dal-Secular (JDS).Constituency NameParty Leading By Votes Athani BJP Mahesh Iranagouda Kumathalli leading with margin of 3,815 votesKagwadBJP Balasaheb Patil leading with margin of 1,452 votesGokakBJPRamesh Jarkiholi leading with margin of 2,182 votesYellapurBJPArabail Shivaram Hebbar leading with margin of over 8,102 votesHirekerurBJPBC Patil leading with margin of 2,188 votesRanibennurBJPArun Kumar Guththur leading with margin of 868 votesVijayanagaraBJPAanand Singh leading with margin of 3,264 votesChikkaballapurBJPK Sudhakar leading with margin of 9,317 votesYeshwanthapura: JDSTN Javarayi Gowda leading with margin of 1,276 votesMahalakshmi LayoutBJPK Gopalaiah leading with margin of 7,715 votesShivajinagarCongressRizwan Arshad leading with margin of 1,634 votesHoskote Sharath Bachegowda leading with margin of 3,879 votesKrishnarajapeteJDSBL Devaraj leading with margin of 850 votesHunasuruCongressHP Manjunath leading with margin of 5,393 votes 10:49 am (IST) Shivakumar Concedes Congress' Defeat | Conceding defeat, Congress DK Shivakumar says, “We have to agree the mandate of the people.
