Bharatiya Janata Party ally Apna Dal (Sonelal) candidate Rinki Kol won the Chhanbey seat by defeating her closes rival Keerti Kol of the Samajwadi Party by a significant margin of over 9,000 votes.
Meanwhile, Apna Dal (S) candidate Shafeek Ahmed Ansari won the Suar seat, defeating SP's Anuradha Chauhan by a significant margin of 8,724 votes.
