In the 2023 Karnataka Assembly polls, Yasir Ahmed Khan Pathan was a last-minute choice for the Congress party, replacing the initial candidate Mohammed Yousuf Savanur. Pathan, the president of Anjuman-e-Islam Hubballi-Dharwad, is set to contest against Basavaraj Bommai’s son Bharat in the upcoming Shiggaon bypoll. The constituency has a significant population of Lingayats and Muslims, with Pathan being the Congress’s candidate of choice due to his local connection and grassroots work. The clash between Pathan and Bharat will reflect the demographic diversity of the constituency, with Pathan banking on his experience and ground-level support.
