Ajaz Khan Faces a Staggering Defeat in Maharashtra Elections 2024: In a shocking turn of events, television actor and Bigg Boss ex-contestant, Ajaz Khan, has faced a major setback in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections. Khan, who contested from the Versova seat on the ticket of Azad Samaj Party (Kanshiram), managed to secure only 103 votes, a number that’s even fewer than the NOTA (None of the Above) votes, which totaled 747 in the same constituency.
Worse Than NOTA: A Humbling Result
According to the Election Commission of India, the Shiv Sena UBT candidate, Haroon Khan, is leading with 46,619 votes, far ahead in the race. Ajaz Khan, despite boasting an impressive 5.6 million Instagram followers, fell behind significantly in the polls. The voting percentage in the Versova constituency stood at 51.2%.
Social Media Mockery and Public Reaction
The actor’s dismal performance has sparked a wave of mocking and memes on social media. Khan’s huge fan base on Instagram, which could not translate into votes, has become a major topic of discussion. With 16 candidates contesting from the traditionally Congress-dominated seat, Khan’s result has raised many eyebrows.
Ajaz Khan’s Television Career and Political Journey
Ajaz Khan, born in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, has had a notable career in Indian television, starring in popular shows like Diya Aur Baati Hum and Karam Apna Apna. He has also appeared in films such as Rakta Charitra and Allah Ke Banday. Despite his fame, his foray into politics has not been successful, and the 2024 election results mark a significant blow to his political ambitions.
