Senior DMK leader V.C. Chandhirakumar, who won the Erode East by-election by a massive margin of 90,629 votes, took the oath of office as a legislator on Monday.
Tamil Nadu Assembly speaker M. Appavu administered the oath in his chamber at the Assembly secretariat. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, State Irrigation Minister Duraimurugan, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, VCK leader and Member of Parliament from Chidambaram (SC) constituency Thol. Thirumavalavan and Tamil Nadu Congress Committee President K. Selvaperunthagai were among the leaders present at the ceremony.
The Erode East by-election, held on February 5, saw 46 candidates in the fray. Chandhirakumar, contesting on a DMK ticket, secured an overwhelming 1,14,439 votes, while his nearest rival, M.K. Seethalakshmi, managed only 23,810 votes. The NTK candidate performed poorly, losing her election deposit.
Interestingly, NOTA (None of the Above) received 6,000 votes, making it the third-highest in terms of votes polled.
