As the 2023 State Assembly elections threw up some big upsets and victories, capital city Bengaluru failed to throw up any major surprises. Continuing its tradition of re-voting incumbents, the city voted back to power a majority of the candidates across the 28 assembly constituencies.
In Bengaluru, BJP won 16 constituencies, while the Congress won 12 constituencies.
The regional party JD(S) was wiped out in Bengaluru after it lost its only seat in Dasarahalli, which was represented by R. Manjunatha. He lost to S. Muniraju of the BJP, who had earlier won from the constituency in 2008 and 2013.
