In 2023, BJP candidate Shivraj Singh Chouhan had won the Assembly poll by a huge margin of more than one lakh votes, defeating his Congress rival Vikram Mastaal Sharma.
In the counting today, Patel had initially taken a lead against Bhargava in the early rounds of counting. However, Bhargava came back strongly and secured victory after the 13 rounds of counting were completed.
