The counting for the seats in Vallabhnagar and Dhariyawad would take 23 and 24 rounds, respectively.
In Dhariyawad, 18 rounds of counting have been completed, with six more to be completed.
Nagraj Meena of the Congress is ahead after 18 rounds, with Khet Singh Meena of the BJP trailing by a large margin.
Nagraj of the Congress received 57,238 votes, while Khet Singh of the BJP received only 37,338.
In Vallabhnagar, the Congress used the emotional game by fielding Preeti, the wife of a former MLA. The BJP, on the other hand, took a risk and fielded a new candidate in Dhariyawad, Jhala.
In addition, the BJP’s ongoing feud with former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje is said to have harmed the party’s prospects.
The counting is being overseen by Chief Electoral Officer Praveen Gupta.
