How the contest unfolded in the numbers
The central fact of the Raipur City South count was the gap between the first two candidates. Brijmohan Agrawal finished 67,719 votes ahead of Dr. Mahant Ramsundar Das. The runner-up, in turn, was 39,932 votes ahead of the third-placed major candidate, Pradeep Kumar Sahu. That separation is important to the story of the 2023 contest because it shows whether the race remained concentrated around two candidates or whether a third force occupied a substantial part of the vote.
The third major candidate, Pradeep Kumar Sahu, received 1,612 votes. That was well below the totals of the two leading candidates, leaving the main numerical contest centred on Brijmohan Agrawal and Dr. Mahant Ramsundar Das. NOTA, at 729, remained a separate recorded choice and did not alter the order of the leading candidates.
Turnout and the size of the mandate
Raipur City South had 260,006 electors on the 2023 roll and turnout was about 60.70%. In a constituency-level result, turnout supplies the scale of participation behind the count: it tells us how much of the registered electorate entered the voting process, while the candidate totals show how those polled votes were distributed.
Brijmohan Agrawal received 109,263 votes, a lead of 67,719 over Dr. Mahant Ramsundar Das. The winner-runner-up vote-share gap was 43.06 percentage points. Those are the clearest measures of the 2023 result. They establish the size of the victory in that election without turning the historical result into a claim about a future contest.
The third candidate and NOTA in the 2023 picture
Beyond the top two, Pradeep Kumar Sahu polled 1,612 votes and NOTA received 729. Their significance lies in the fact that the constituency did not consist only of the winner and runner-up. The final result included voters who chose smaller parties, independents and NOTA, and those choices remain part of the official electoral record.
Election Mandi Analysis
The 2023 count in Raipur City South was led by Brijmohan Agrawal, whose 109,263 votes produced a margin of 67,719 over Dr. Mahant Ramsundar Das. The top two accounted for the overwhelming share of the leading vote totals, while Pradeep Kumar Sahu and NOTA remained much smaller components of the result. The strongest factual reading is therefore the certified gap, vote shares and participation level recorded in 2023.
