Let us tell you that voting for the Amarwara assembly by-election was held on July 10. There was 79.74 percent voting here. A total of 9 candidates are in the fray for this seat. There is a triangular contest between BJP's Kamlesh Shah, Congress' Dhiren Shah and Gondwana Republic Party's Devraven Bhalavi. In fact, in the 2023 assembly elections, Kamlesh Shah won from Amarwara on a Congress ticket, but before the Lok Sabha elections, he joined the BJP. That is why a by-election is being held here.
