BJP ahead in 44 seats, CM Dhami leads with slender margin; Harish Rawat trails

Hindustan Times  

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party was ahead of the Congress in Uttarakhand with 44 of its party candidates leading on Thursday, according to early trends available. Routed in the 2017 Assembly polls with a tally of 11 seats against the BJP's 57, the Congress, led by former CM Harish Rawat, is trying to stage a comeback. Besides Dhami, prominent BJP candidates who contested the polls are ministers Satpal Maharaj, Bansidhar Bhagat, Subodh Uniyal, Arvind Pandey, Dhan Singh Rawat and Rekha Arya, and state unit president Madan Kaushik. Important Congress leaders whose fate will be decided include Rawat, former minister Yashpal Arya, state Congress president Ganesh Godiyal and Leader of Opposition in the fourth assembly Pritam Singh.
