Kiran Choudhry's Unopposed Win in Haryana Rajya Sabha Bypoll

BJP leader Kiran Choudhry was elected unopposed in the Haryana Rajya Sabha bypoll after the deadline for withdrawal of nomination passed. Choudhry was the sole candidate as no other party fielded a contestant. She received her election certificate from Returning Officer Saket Kumar at the Haryana Vidhan Sabha secretariat.

BJP leader Kiran Choudhry has been elected unopposed in the Haryana Rajya Sabha bypoll, as no other candidates were filed before the nomination withdrawal deadline ended at 3 pm on Tuesday.

Choudhry, a former Haryana minister and the lone candidate, officially received her election certificate from Returning Officer Saket Kumar at 4:33 pm in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha secretariat. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini was present for the proceedings.

Choudhry, who recently switched from the Congress to the BJP, resigned from her assembly seat a week prior, after which she was nominated for the bypoll. Her nomination was supported by four JJP rebel MLAs. The bypoll was necessitated after Congress's Deepender Singh Hooda was elected to the Lok Sabha, leaving his Rajya Sabha seat vacant.
