Bhubaneswar, May 8: Today, regarding the by-poll election for the RS Odisha seat to be held on May 25, the Election Commission of India (ECI) will be releasing the notification. As per the notification, the last date for filing of nominations is May 15 while scrutiny will be held on May 16. Candidates can withdraw their paper by May 18.

The by-polls are being held following the resignation of senior BJD leader Bishnu Charan Das. Das has been roped in as the Deputy Chairman of the State Planning Board and convener of the BJD Dalit Cell. Although Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik has still not announced any names but several speculations are cropping up regarding the names, such as party spokesperson Pratap Deb, senior leader Raghunath Mohanty, Bhupinder Singh and Bimbadhar Kuanr. However, as per political experts, the CM will most probably be appointing a noted social activist for the post in parliament.
