Five candidates of Congress, Thippannappa Kamknoor, PV Mohan, BK Hariprasad (KPCC president), Shivanna B S, and Vinay Karthik Prakash emerged victorious in the Legislative Council seats that went to polls
The JDS, which had nominated Govindaraju as candidate at the
last minute, suffered from cross-voting as he secured only 14 first preference
votes. This was fewer than the 18 first preference votes JD(S) had by virtue of
its strength in the Legislative Assembly revealing that some of its MLAs had
voted for the Congress candidate.
Due to this, Congress’s fifth candidate Vinay Karthik
secured an easy win. Karthik is an aide of Chief Minister D.K. Sivakumar
