Chennai:
Ruling AIADMK today nominated P Saroja, wife of deceased party leader Perumal, as its candidate for the December 4 Yercaud bypoll.
AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa announced the party candidate in a statement in Chennai.
Saroja will contest against DMK's V Maran.
DMK has already sought support from all opposition parties for its candidate.
CPM had extended support to AIADMK in the bypoll, which is being held after the death of sitting AIADMK legislator C Perumal in July.
