One vote was declared invalid.A two-time legislator, Kumar won the Rajya Sabha seat held by his late father, MP Veerendra Kumar. The death of the 83-year-old media baron on May 28 had necessitated the bypoll. The late leader's Upper House tenure was to end on April 2, 2022.The polls saw difference within the Congress-led UDF come to the surface as a faction of the erstwhile Kerala Congress (Mani) having two legislators kept away from voting.The faction is led by late KM Mani's son Jose K Mani, a Rajya Sabha member.Their legislator Roshy Augustine said that the UDF whip does not apply to them as they have been "ousted from the UDF"."We are an independent party and can take our own position and we took it," said Augustine.IANS Thiruvananthapuram For Latest Updates Please-
