Chandigarh/Tarn Taran, Oct. 18 -- A total of six nomination papers were submitted on Friday, the fifth day of filing nominations for the bypoll to the Tarn Taran assembly constituency. A spokesperson of the Punjab chief electoral officer said Harjit Singh Sandhu (BJP), Harmeet Singh Sandhu (AAP), Rajesh Walia (covering candidate of AAP), and Sham Lal Gandhi (Sacho Sach Party) were among those who filed their nomination papers. Congress candidate Karanbir Singh also submitted another nomination paper on Friday. Earlier, he had filed his nomination papers on October 15. The last date for filing nominations is October 21, while the scrutiny of nomination papers will be held on October 22. The last date for withdrawal of candidature is October 24. The bypoll has been necessitated by the death of ruling party's MLA Kashmir Singh Sohal in June. The voting will be held on November 11, and the counting of votes will be conducted on November 14. Before AAP candidate Harmeet Singh Sandhu filed his nomination papers, the party held a roadshow led by chief minister Bhagwant Mann and senior party leaders, including AAP's Punjab in-charge Manish Sisodia and state party president Aman Arora. A three-time MLA, Sandhu had first won from the Tarn Taran seat in 2002 as an independent candidate, then again in 2007 and 2012 as a SAD candidate. He, however, lost in 2017 and 2022, defeated by AAP's Kashmir Singh Sohal by over 13,000 votes. Sandhu switched to the AAP in July 2025 and was soon appointed as the halqa in-charge for Tarn Taran....
