The Congress on Saturday won the Temisgam seat in a byelection held for the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), the only elected platform in the Union Territory of Ladakh that is without any Assembly.
Congress candidate Tashi Tundup defeated Dorjay Namgayal, a BJP candidate, by 273 votes in the bypolls in the Temisgam constituency. Timisgam seat, earlier also won by the Congress, fell vacant after the death of Councillor Sonam Dorjey.
