Bhubaneswar: With the last date for filing nominations for the ensuing by-election to Bijepur Assembly constituency in Odisha’s Bargarh district three days away, the Congress is most likely to announce its candidate on Saturday.

The party would announce the name of its candidate after the selection of one of the candidates by the party high command, the sources added.
