Jharkhand By-election LIVE Updates: The counting of votes in Jharkhand by-elections has already begun and the counting process is expected to be end by 3 pm. In the eastern state, counting is taking place in two assembly seats– Dumka and Bermo.

Votes will be counted in 18 rounds in Dumka and 17 rounds in Bermo seat in Bokaro district, Joint state Chief Electoral Officer Hiralal Mandal said, the fate of 12 candidates in Dumka and 16 nominees in Bermo will be decided today. Around 62.51 percent of total 5.63 lakh voters had exercised their franchise in the by-elections to the two seats.

It should be noted that counting of votes of the November 3 by-elections to Dumka and Bermo assembly seats in Jharkhand has commenced amid elaborate security arrangements.

The by-elections are expected to be a direct contest between the BJP and the ruling JMM-Congress alliance. The electoral contest in Dumka is expected to be between Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s younger brother Basant Soren of the JMM and former cabinet minister Lois Marandi of the BJP.

The fight in Bermo is also likely to be a direct contest between Jaimangal alias Anup Singh of the Congress, the son of sitting MLA Rajendra Prasad Singh whose death necessitated the by-election, and Yogeshwar Mahato of the BJP.

By-election to the constituency was necessitated after the chief minister vacated the seat and retained his other Barhait seat. He had defeated Marandi in Dumka in last year’s assembly elections.
