The voting for these two constituencies will be held next month on November 13. With the announcement of the poll date, the Model Code of Conduct came into effect in these two constituencies.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer Sukhvir Singh said, "ECI has announced the date for the by-election to be held in Vijaypur assembly seat in Sheopur and Budhni assembly seat in Sehore on Tuesday. With the announcement of the dates of by-election, the Model Code of Conduct has come into effect in these constituencies and it will be strictly followed."

Budhni assembly seat is the bastion of senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and it got vacant as he got elected as Member of Parliament (MP) from Vidisha constituency in the recently concluded general election 2024.
Besides, Vijaypur fell vacant after the sitting six-time Congress MLA Ramniwas Rawat quit the grand old party and joined the BJP amid the Lok Sabha elections. Currently, Rawat is the Forest and Environment Minister in the cabinet of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. (ANI)
