The Rampur assembly seat in Uttar Pradesh, which became vacant after SP leader Mohammad Azam Khan was disqualified, is one of the five seats going for the bypolls.

With his death, the Congress now has 107 out of the 200 MLAs in the Rajasthan assembly. The BJP has 71 MLAs, Rashtriya Loktantrik Party three, CPI(M) and Bhartiya Tribal Party two each, Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) one and 13 are Independent MLAs. One seat is vacant.
Other assembly seats where bypolls will be held are Padampur in Odisha, Kurhani in Bihar, and Bhanupratappur in Chhattisgarh.
The counting of votes will take place on December 8 to coincide with the ballot counts in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.
