Madurai: Congress applicant K.S.K Rajendran won the Madurai West assemblage electorate by a margin of 31,115 votes over his closest AIADMK opponent Sellur K Raju.

The Congressional applicant, part of the DMK-led Democratic Progressive Alliance, was chairing since the vote counting process started at 8 am today.

The by-poll on June 26 was required because of the death of revolutionary AIADMK member S.V. Shanmugham.
