1972 Joynagar by-election
A by-election was held on June 6, 1972 for the Joynagar seat of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly. The by-election had been called after the death of the incumbent Indian National Congress legislator Prosun Kumar Ghosh.
The left-wing alliance boycotted the by-election. It was thus an easy win for the Indian National Congress, which fielded Dr. Nirad Kumar Saha as its candidate.
There were 811 invalid votes.
