By-elections to the two Rajya Sabha seats in Gujarat will take place on July 5, the Election Commission announced on Saturday. Notifications will be issued on June 18 and elections and counting of votes will be held on July 5.

In all, bypolls for six Rajya Sabha seats will take place, including the two seats vacated by Amit Shah and Smriti Irani in Gujarat, following their victory in the Lok Sabha polls. Shah won the Gandhinagar seat while Irani won from Amethi. In Gujarat, the BJP currently does not have the numbers to win both the seats, but if by-elections for the four assembly seats (that fell vacant after their MLAs won the 2019 LS poll) are announced before the RS polls, and if it manages to retain all, it may still have a chance.
