“By-elections in 04-Jalandhar parliamentary constituency in Punjab and Assembly constituencies of 07-Jharsuguda, Odisha, 395-Chhanbey and 34-Suar, UP & 23-Sohiong, Meghalaya to be held on May 10; result on May 13,” ANI tweeted.
No by-election in Wayanad
The EC said that no decision has been taken yet to conduct the by-election in Kerala’s Wayanad constituency. The parliamentary constituency was vacated after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was disqualified as the MP.
“The bypoll to a vacant seat needs to be conducted within six months. On March 23, we came to know that the Wayanad seat fell vacant. We have plenty of time… The lower court has also given 30 days to Rahul Gandhi to appeal against his conviction, so we are waiting for that process as well. After that, we will take a decision on this matter,” he added.
