Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) Working President MK Stalin announced Saturday that Marudhu Ganesh would be the party's candidate for the upcoming RK Nagar by-poll.

Chennai's RK Nagar, or Dr. Radhakrishnan Nagar, was the late Jayalalithaa's constituency.

The bypoll will be held on December 21. Votes will be counted on December 24.

The RK Nagar by-poll had earlier been scheduled to be held on April 12, but it was cancelled after Income Tax raids uncovered evidence of massive corruption and bribery.
