With the demise of Manohar Parrikar, it is likely that by-election for Panaji seat would also be held on 23rd April along with Lok Sabha and by-elections of three vacant seats.



Goa Electoral Office has already intimated the Election Commission about it. Additional Chief Electoral Officer Narayan Sawant says that Election Commission of India has to take a final call on this. Election Commission has already announced that the official notification would be issued on 28th March for Lok Sabha election and earlier 3 Assembly by-elections in Goa. Polling would be held on 23rd April. Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant also said he is not aware when Panaji by-election would be held. There were rumours that Babush Monseratte, who is now with Goa Forward, is keen on contesting once again from Panaji. See how BJP President Vinay Tendulkar reacts to it.
