In the recent elections in Himachal Pradesh, voters expressed a dual preference, intending to vote for Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha elections and for Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu in the assembly bypolls. While the BJP secured victory in all four Lok Sabha seats, the Congress won four out of six assembly bypolls. Key wins included Anurag Thakur defeating his Congress rival in Hamirpur and Kangana Ranaut emerging victorious against Vikramaditya Singh in Mandi.
