In the Saran teacher MLC poll, 11 of the 18 candidates received fewer than ten first‑preference votes, while four candidates got no votes at all.
The teacher MLC election in Saran district saw 18 aspirants file nominations, each backed by the required ten proposers under the state’s electoral rules.
When the votes were tallied, a striking pattern emerged: eleven candidates secured fewer than ten first‑preference votes, indicating an extremely fragmented support base.
Even more notable, four of the contestants failed to attract a single vote, highlighting either a lack of voter awareness or an overwhelmingly dominant preference for other candidates.
These results underscore the highly competitive nature of the contest, where a large field of candidates diluted the vote share to minimal levels for most participants.
Election officials have not commented on the low vote counts, and the final winner will be declared based on the standard counting procedures.
