Kangana Ranaut defeated Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh by a margin of 74,755 votes.
Ranaut garnered 5,37,022 votes while Singh got 4,62,267 votes, according to the latest data from the Election Commission of India.
The Mandi constituency holds symbolic significance for the Congress, as it is considered a bastion of the Virbhadra family. The seat was being held by Pratibha Devi Singh, the late leader's widow.
She wrested the seat for the Congress in the bye-election that was held following the demise of then-BJP MP Ram Swaroop Sharma.
BJP is ahead on all four seats of Himachal Pradesh where voting was held on June 1.
