The seat was vacant after the death of MLA
Gurpreet Singh Gogi, an MLA from Ludhiana West seat in Punjab, died in January due to his own gun. After this, the Punjab Assembly declared this seat vacant and sent information to the Election Commission. It is believed that it is necessary to hold elections within six months after the seat is vacant.
In such a situation, it is clear that elections will be held before July. The Election Commission has not yet declared Ludhiana elections. But the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has declared its candidate. Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora has been declared its candidate on behalf of the party.
