BJP secured victory in all four Assembly constituencies – Wangoi, Lilong, Wangjing Tentha and Saitu, out of the total five seats, in which by-polls were held, on Tuesday.
The by-polls held on November 7 were necessitated after Congress MLAs of these four seats resigned from the assembly and joined the ruling BJP. The BJP has contested in three seats and supported an independent candidate in Lilong.
