Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate for the Mainpuri Lok Sabha bypoll Dimple Yadav is likely to file her nomination papers on Monday, a senior party leader said.
Her candidature is seen as the SP's efforts to carry forward the legacy of her father-in-law Mulayam Singh Yadav on the seat, considered a stronghold of the party since 1996. Her selection is also seen as an attempt to unite party cadres ahead of the bypoll.
The 44-year-old wife of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav will file her nomination at the Mainpuri collectorate on Monday afternoon, Alok Shakya, district president of the party's Mainpuri district unit, told PTI.
The by-election for the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat will be held on December 5 and the result will be declared on December 8.
Filing of nominations for the bypoll has started, and November 17 is the last date for filing of nomination.
