Humayun Kabir Leads in Nowda, Trails in Rejinagar During West Bengal Poll Counting

In the West Bengal Assembly elections, Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) chief Humayun Kabir is leading in the Nowda constituency of Murshidabad district by margins ranging from approximately 2,890 to 10,503 votes over his nearest Trinamool Congress (TMC) rival, Sahina Momtaz Khan, according to Election Commission data from various counting rounds. However, Kabir trails BJP candidate Bapan Ghosh by about 1,418 votes in the Rejinagar seat. Kabir formed AJUP after his suspension from TMC over a mosque construction proposal. Early state trends show BJP leading in over 180 seats, with TMC surpassing 100 seats.
