In Channapatna, the by-election was prompted by the resignation of sitting MLA HD Kumaraswamy. Similarly, Shiggaon and Sandur saw vacancies due to the resignations of Basavaraj Bommai and E Tukaram, respectively. The Election Commission has stressed the importance of ensuring a free and fair electoral process in these upcoming by-elections.
