By-elections across the country – Dumri in Jharkhand, Boxanagar and Dhanpur in Tripura, Bageshwar in Uttarakhand, Ghosi in Uttar Pradesh (where INDIA more or less united), plus Puthuppally in Kerala and Dhupguri in West Bengal (where INDIA members chief rivals)
The outcome of the bypoll is seen as an indicator for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Ghosi has a diverse electorate, including Muslims, Dalits, and voters from upper castes. Voting will take place from 7 am to 6 pm, with counting on September 8.
Days after the INDIA opposition alliance said it would contest future elections "together as far as possible", the 28-member bloc is on the eve of one of its first electoral tests - the Ghosi bypoll in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
