Polling was held on Monday after the May 12 Assembly election in the seat was countermanded following the death of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) contestant B.N. Vijaya Kumar on May 4.
The BJP nominated Kumar’s younger brother B.N. Prahlad as its candidate. With the withdrawal of Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) candidate Kalegowda from the fray in support of the Indian National Congress nominee Sowmya Reddy, the battle for the seat is a straight contest between the two national parties. The Assembly seat has 312,252 registered voters.
