Erode Bypoll 2023 results HIGHLIGHTS: The ruling DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) on Thursday retained the Erode East by-poll segment in this western Tamil Nadu town with an emphatic win against the K Palaniswami-led AIADMK, prompting Chief Minister MK Stalin to bill it as an endorsement of his near two-year-old government's "Dravidian model" of governance. Setting a record of sorts, SPA candidate EVKS Elangovan of the Congress received more than one lakh of the around 1.70 lakh votes polled on February 27, galloping ahead of his nearest AIADMK rival KS Thennarasu by around 66,000 votes.
