The elections for the vacant seats will be held on June 10, the ECI said. The tenure of three BJD MPs- Prasanna Acharya, Bhaskar Rao and Sasmit Patra will come to an end in the Upper House in July. The number of ruling BJD in the state Assembly shows that all three seats will go to the ruling party. According to party sources, several leaders are in the race to go to the upper house.
