Bengaluru: Congress has taken the lead in all three Assembly constituencies where by-elections were held in the state. Among these, Congress has secured victories in the Sandur and Shiggaon constituencies. However, the official announcement from the Election Commission is awaited.

In the Shiggaon Assembly constituency, Yasir Khan Pathan has achieved a resounding victory against Bharath Bommai, the son of former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. With this win, Congress has taken control of a constituency that was previously under BJP's hold.

In Sandur, Congress candidate Annapoorna Tukaram has defeated BJP's Bangaru Hanumanthu, reclaiming the Sandur constituency for Congress.
