Lucknow: By-elections to Jangipur and Bilari assembly seats of Uttar Pradesh will be held tomorrow, state election office sources said.
Both seats were held by the ruling Samajwadi Party.
Jangipur seat in Ghazipur district fell vacant when sitting MLA and cabinet minister Kailash Yadav died in February after a brain haemorrhage, while bypoll in Bilari was necessitated following the death of 64-year-old Haji Irfan in a road accident on March 10.
Mr Irfan, a first-time legislator, was killed when the vehicle in which he was travelling fell into a ditch.
