Jalandhar West Bypoll Result: AAP's Mohinder Bhagat Emerges as Front-runner

Vote Counting Underway, Final Results Awaited on July 13

Intense Battle for the Reserved Constituency

The counting of votes for the Jalandhar West bypoll is currently underway, with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Mohinder Bhagat emerging as the leading candidate. The bypoll was necessitated following the resignation of sitting AAP legislator Sheetal Angural. Jalandhar West is a scheduled caste reserved constituency in Punjab. The seat fell vacant after Angural resigned to contest the Lok Sabha elections. The bypoll has witnessed a fierce contest between the AAP, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Congress.

The AAP has fielded Mohinder Bhagat, a former minister in the previous AAP government. The BJP has nominated Kamaljit Singh Karwal, while the Congress candidate is Sukhwinder Singh Kotli. The bypoll is being seen as a test of the AAP's popularity after its recent electoral setbacks in Himachal Pradesh and Delhi.

The vote counting is taking place at the Government Senior Secondary School in Jalandhar West. The final results are expected to be declared later today. Stay tuned for the latest updates on the Jalandhar West bypoll result.
