The counting will take place on May 31.
New Delhi, April 26
The Election Commission on Thursday announced that bypolls to four Lok Sabha seats, including Uttar Pradesh's Kairana, will take place on May 28.
The bypolls will be held for Bhandara-Gondiya and Palghar in Maharashtra, Kairana, and Nagaland Lok Sabha seats.
Nana Patole of the BJP had resigned from the Bhandara-Gondiya seat last year and joined the Congress. The Palghar seat fell vacant after the demise of BJP MP Chintaman Wangaya. The bypoll to the Kairana seat was necessitated after BJP veteran Hukum Singh passed away in February.
The Nagaland seat fell vacant when Neiphiu Rio resigned as a Lok Sabha member to become the chief minister of the state.
The notification would be issued on May 3, while the counting would take place on May 31, the Election Commission said. - PTI
