Yemkanmardi Constituency Election Results: Assembly seat details, MLAs, candidates & more
Karnataka Assembly Election Result 2023 Live Updates
Yemkanmardi assembly constituency has a population of approximately 2.5 lakh people, with a mix of rural and urban areas.
The constituency, however, has seen a gradual shift in political preferences towards the BJP in recent years, with the party's increasing popularity among the electorate.
The Yemkanmardi constituency has a predominantly agricultural economy, with sugarcane being the major crop. The region is also known for its handloom industry and has a significant number of weavers. The constituency has been grappling with issues such as farmer distress, lack of infrastructure, and unemployment. The newly elected MLA will have the task of addressing these issues and working towards the overall development of the constituency.
There are a total of 224 seats in Karnataka. It is the seventh largest legislative assembly by strength.
In the 2018 assembly polls, the state threw up a fractured mandate with BJP emerging as the single largest party with 104 seats. The Congress won 87 seats while the JD(S) won 30.
The BJP managed to form the government only after several MLAs from the ruling Congress-JD(S) coalition joined the saffron party.
The BJP faces anti-incumbency in a state where no party has won consecutive terms in over 20 years. The Congress is banking on BJP’s “incumbency burden” and is confident that the corruption charges against its opponent Basavaraj Bommai will stick.
