Background
In March 2020, Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia , along with 22 Congress MLAs, defected to the BJP. This resulted in the toppling of the Kamal Nath ministry and the ascendancy of Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government . By 23 July 2020, another 3 Congress MLAs (Pradyuman Singh Lodhi (of Malhara ), Sumitra Devi Kasdekar (of Nepanagar ) and Narayan Patel (of Mandhata )) had resigned to join the BJP .[ 6]
In addition, 3 seats (Joura ,[ 7] Agar [ 6] and Biaora [ 8] ) became vacant due to the deaths of their respective sitting MLAs. The elections were scheduled to be held on or before September 2020,[ 2] but got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic .[ 1]
