Note

J Jayalalithaa is contesting the poll with a view to fulfilling the constitutional requirement for getting elected to the Assembly within six month

CPI, which is the lone recognised opposition party in the fray after the others chose to boycott the bypoll, has fielded its senior state leader C Mahendran against Jayalalithaa.

The Left party is seeking votes on the promise to “protect the interests of working classes, the common man and democracy.” 

DMK, BJP, Congress, MDMK and PMK announced a boycott of the election as they alleged the ruling party would use money power to swing the outcome their way. The opposition parties also reasoned that there was no need to contest the bypoll as the Assembly elections are due early next year.

Although 28 candidates, including social activist “Traffic” Ramaswamy, are in the fray, the “contest” is mainly between J Jayalalithaa and C Mahendran(CPI)who is backed by CPI(M)

After the 11th round of counting in RK Nagar, Jayalalithaa is leading by more than 1 lakh votes. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/politics/results-of-aruvikkara-rk-nagar-bypolls-today/#sthash.TF2PyFAX.dpuf
