Assembly byelections in Himachal’s Dehra, Hamirpur and Nalagarh on July 10

Hindustan Times  

The Election Commission on Monday announced byelections in the three assembly constituencies of Dehra, Hamirpur and Nalagarh on July 10, the result of which will be out on July 13. The byelections were necessitated following the resignation of the three Independent MLAs, Hoshiyar Singh, Ashish Sharma and KL Thakur. Though the three MLAs resigned from the assembly on March 22, Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania accepted their resignations on June 3 after the Lok Sabha elections and six assembly bypolls were held simultaneously on June 1 in Dharamshala, Sujanpur, Barsar, Gagret, Kutlehar, and Lahaul and Spiti. Hoshiyar Singh, Ashish Sharma and KL Thakur had joined the BJP on March 23 and moved the Himachal Pradesh high court, seeking directions to the Speaker to accept their resignation. In the six byelections on June 1, the Congress won four seats and secured a majority in the 68-member House the strength of which was reduced to 65 members after the resignation of the three Independent MLAs.
