Karimpur Assembly Bye-Election Results 2019: Karimpur constituency went to polls on November 25.

Karimpur (West Bengal) Assembly Bye-Election Results 2019 Live: The Trinamool Congress Thursday won the Karimpur bye-election, with its candidate Bimalendu Singha Roy defeating BJP’s Jay Prakash Majumdar by 24,119 votes.

Polling remained by and large peaceful with 75.34 per cent average voting in West Bengal’s Kharagpur Sadar, Karimpur and Kaliaganj Assembly seats that went to polls on Monday. Over seven lakh people are deciding the fate of 18 candidates in the three constituencies. Karimpur is the seat that registered the highest voter turnout on Monday and was also marred by violence. This seat was won by TMC in the 2016 elections, and the party hopes to retain it.
