Maihar bypoll: Turnout 71.77 pc, violence nil

Satna, MP, Feb 13 (UNI) A total 71.77 per cent of a 2,27,803-strong electorate – including 1,08,232 women – peacefully exercised their franchise today in the Maihar Assembly by-election and the turnout of female voters was marginally higher than male counterparts, official sources said.
Polling was scheduled between 0700-1700 hrs, though electors’ queues were observed outside some centres even after 1700 hrs and they were permitted to vote, as is the norm. Brisk polling was observed from 0900-1300 hrs, and by 1300 hrs 51.69 per cent voters had exercised their franchise.
The key contest is between Madhya Pradesh’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s Narayan Tripathi and the principal opposition Congress’ Manish Patel, though more than a dozen other candidates are also trying their fortunes.
