RK Nagar By-Election Result: How It Stands After 2 Hours Of Counting
Initial trends during the counting of votes at Chennai's RK Nagar show TTV Dhinakaran leading the race, followed by the ruling AIADMK in second place and DMK in third. Mr Dhinakaran is the nephew of VK Sasikala, the longtime companion of Jayalalithaa, who represented the seat in the Tamil Nadu assembly till her death in December last year. Mr Dhinakaran, who laid claim to Jayalalithaa's legacy, split from EPS and OPS. He is contesting as an Independent. The Election Commission had concluded that it was the EPS and OPS led faction of the AIADMK, which was the real AIADMK as it had greater support from party leaders and MLAs.
