New Delhi: The counting of votes for the by-elections to five assembly seats across four states is underway, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) emerging as the biggest gainer by winning two seats.

According to the Election Commission, AAP’s Gopal Italia clinched victory from Gujarat\u2019s Visavadar constituency, while Sanjeev Arora won from Ludhiana West in Punjab. The Ludhiana West bypoll was necessitated following the death of sitting AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in West Bengal, TMC\u2019s Alifa Ahmed has taken a commanding lead over the BJP candidate in Kaliganj, with the final result expected soon.<\/p>\n
