The Election Commission of India has announced that the by-poll for Erode East Constituency will be held on February 27 after the sitting MLA, E. Thirumahan Everaa (46), passed away earlier this month.
Tamil Nadu Congress Committee sources said that it is too early to say whether the seat would be given to one of the family members - Everaa’s father E.V.K.S. Elangovan or his brother, Sanjay Sampath, but they are among the probable candidates.
