Erode Bypoll Election Result 2025 Live Updates: Along with Delhi elections, voting was also held in Tamil Nadu’s Erode (east) assembly constituencies on February 5. The counting of votes for this seat is underway too (February 8). According to the initial trends, DMK’s V C Chandhirakumar, a turncoat from late actor Vijayakanth’s DMDK, is leading by 16,639 votes. The Erode seat fell vacant after the death of incumbent MLA EVKS Elangovan of the Congress.

The polls in Erode are likely to be a cake walk for Chandhirakumar, taking on Naam Tamizhar Katchi’s M K Seethalakshmi, a less formidable opponent. According to a report in Deccan Herald, by-polls in Tamil Nadu have always tilted in favour of the ruling party, be it the DMK or the AIADMK, since the 1990s, with wide-spread allegations of bribing the voters.

Bypolls are also underway in Uttar Pradesh. The elections in Milkipur was necessitated as Samajwadi Party MLA Awadhesh Prasad was elected to Lok Sabha from Faizabad (Ayodhya) constituency.

The Milkipur bypoll has turned into a prestige battle between the SP and the BJP as the seat is part of the politically significant Ayodhya district. Even as 10 candidates are in the race, the real battle is between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Samajwadi Party (SP). The key contenders are BJP’s Chandrabhanu Paswan and SP’s Ajit Prasad.
