Election Commission Schedules July 30 Bypolls for Three Assembly Seats in Bihar, MP, Gujarat
The Election Commission of India has scheduled by-elections for three Assembly constituencies—Bankipur in Bihar, Datia in Madhya Pradesh, and Manjalpur in Gujarat—on July 30, with vote counting set for August 3. These vacancies arose due to the resignation of BJP leader Nitin Nabin, the disqualification of Congress MLA Rajendra Bharti, and the death of BJP MLA Yogeshbhai Narandas Patel. The Model Code of Conduct is in effect, and Electronic Voting Machines with VVPAT will be used. Nomination filings close on July 13, with scrutiny and withdrawal deadlines on July 14 and 16 respectively.
