Chandigarh: The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday named Parupkar Ghuman as its candidate for Ludhiana West assembly seat by-election; Ghuman is former president of the Ludhiana Bar Association.

While ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has already named Sanjeev Arora, party’s Rajya Sabha member, and Congress has named Bharat Bhushan Ashu, the BJP has yet to decide its nominee for the said by-election.

For the record, all the seven incumbent Rajya Sabha members are of AAP. Out of total 13 Lok Sabha seats, while AAP has three MPs, Congress has seven, SAD (Waris Punjab De), two and SAD, one MP.

The Ludhiana West seat had fallen vacant following the death of AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi in January, this year. He died at his home of a gunshot after his licensed weapon accidentally went off.

The date for the said by-poll is yet to be announced; a by-election to elect a new MLA from a vacant seat has to be held within six months.
