Bihar bypoll: 18.48% voter turnout till 11 am in Rupauli assembly
The by-election was necessitated due to the resignation of sitting MLA Bima Bharti, who won the seat for JD(U) several times in the past, but quit the party to contest the Lok Sabha elections on a RJD ticket. Despite her loss in the parliamentary election, she is contesting again in the bypoll as an RJD candidate.
