VIJAYAWADA: Byelection to Atmakur Assembly constituency in Nellore district will be held on June 23. The byelection was necessitated following the sudden demise of former minister Mekapati Goutham Reddy in February.
The Election Commission of India issued the schedule for the Atmakur byelection on Wednesday.
The ruling YSRC is expected to field Mekapati Vikram Reddy, younger brother of Goutham Reddy, in the bypoll. While TDP may opt-out of the contest, BJP is likely to enter the fray.
