Speaking to reporters here, Mr Stalin said party General Secretary K Anbazhagan has announced Mr Ganesh will be the party candidate for the December 21 by-election.

The seat fell vacant following the death of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on December 5, 2016.

Though the by-election was scheduled for April 12, 2017, it was countermanded following reports of attempted voter bribing by a candidate.

Mr Stalin also said the DMK would also seek the support of other parties for its candidate.
