Thiruvannathapuram : Congress candidate K.A. Sabarinathan was ahead of his rivals as the counting of votes in the Aruvikara assembly constituency by-election in the capital district began on Tuesday.
Counting of votes began at 8 a.m. and Sabarinathan has taken a lead of 10,128 votes.
Counting of postal votes was taken up first followed by the Tholikode panchayat. Vithura, Ayyadan, Uzhamalaikal, Vellanad, Aruvikkara, Poovachal and finally Kuttichal panchayat votes will be counted.
Of the total votes counted, K S Sabarinathan has so far got 56,448 followed by LDF's M Vijakumar with 46,320 votes and BJP's O Rajagopal with 34,145 votes. Sabarinathan has more lead than what his father G. Karthikeyan had when the latter contested the assembly poll in 2011.
With all the 154 being counted so far, the lead of the Congress candidateis now 10,128 votes. NOTA has taken the fourth spot with total votes 1430.
In the Vithura panchayat, the UDF has taken a major chunk of votes with Vijayakumar able to take a minor lead only in two booths where counting is still on.
In Saturday's polls, 77.35 percent of the electorate had cast their votes.
The assembly constituency witnessed a triangular contest between the CPI-M, the Congress and the BJP. The counting will be held across 14 tables in 11 rounds.
The bypoll is a litmus test for both the Fronts as panchayat polls are to be held later this year and assembly elections are just a year away.
The bypoll was necessitated following the death of former Speaker G Karthikeyan who represented the segment (previously known as Aryanad) in the state assembly from 1991-2015.
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has said the poll outcome would be a referendum on the government's performance during the past four years while the opposition was confident that the electorate would deal a heavy blow to the ruling Front which was facing various allegations.
