With the victory, the party which has bagged 56.8 per cent votes has cemented its dominance in the hill state where it had routed the Congress in the 2017 and 2022 Assembly polls. The Congress got 32.8 per cent votes.


Union Minister of State for Defence and Tourism Ajay Bhatt won the Nainital-Udham Singh Nagar Lok Sabha seat in Uttarakhand, defeating Congress’ Prakash Joshi by 3,34,548 votes.


In the Haridwar seat, former Uttarakhand chief minister and BJP candidate Trivendra Singh Rawat defeated Congress’ Virender Rawat by 1,64,056 votes to make it to the Lok Sabha for the first time.
