Banerjee was sworn in as bengal cm for the third time in May 5.
He will stop being a “minister” if he is not a member of the State Assembly within six months (on November 5), according to Article 164 (4) Constitution.
EC on Saturday said he had decided to give a nod to Bypoll in Bhowanipore “considering the ecegrition of the constitution and a special request from Bengal”.
“The Secretary of the Head of State was informed that the Covid-19 situation was fully controlled, the situation of flooding in the country did not affect the constituency of polls and the state was fully directed to hold elections.

Banerjee lost a poll from Nandigram with a narrow margin of 1,956 votes to Suvendu Adhikari BJP, making it important for him to enter the legislative assembly of other constituencies.
Trinamool has opposed Nandigram results and the case is sub-too.
Trinamool leader welcomed the EC decision and said declaring the nomination of Banerjee from Bhowanipore was a “mere formality”.
Poster welcomed Banerjee as a party candidate from Bhowanipore – he also lived in elections – appearing within a few hours after the announcement.
“Unnour Ghore Ghore, Ghorer Meye Bhowanipore E (every house will see progress as Bhowanipore’s daughter returns home),” read one of them.
Banerjee was studied to cancel the North Bengal trip on September 6-9.
The last day for archiving nominations is September 13.

“Bypolls are scheduled for five seats.
I hope the EC is not affected,” said BJP Bengal President Bjp Ghosh.
