Bypoll To Decide Fate of Uttarakhand CM Dhami, Voting Underway for Champawat

The fate of Uttarakhand's Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami will be decided soon as voting for the bypoll of the state's Champawat Assembly seat is underway on Tuesday, 31 May.

The voter turnout till 3 pm was recorded as 52 percent, as per The Times of India.

Despite playing a key role in winning the recently-concluded state Assembly polls in February this year, Dhami had lost from Khatima, a seat from where he had won twice before since the year 2012. He was appointed as the chief minister nonetheless.

In order to continue as CM, Dhami is required to win an assembly seat, making the Champawat poll a crucial one.
