The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Saturday named Raj Singh Dibbipura as its candidate for the bypoll to the Jalalabad Assembly seat in Punjab.

The seat fell vacant after party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal resigned from the Punjab Assembly following his election to the Lok Sabha from the Ferozepur parliamentary constituency this year.
