Congress candidate Shreyas Patel is set to win the Hassan constituency with over 40,000 votes, while Bhujan Samaj Party's candidate Gangadhar Bahujan is third. The rivalry between Revanna and Patel stretches back two generations, with Revanna representing the constituency from 1991 to 2014. Prajwal Revanna, suspended from the JD(S) party due to allegations of sexual abuse, is currently under Special Investigation Team custody.
