"The Parliamentary Board has unanimously decided to field presidium chairman E Madusudanan for the RK Nagar by-poll," Panneerselvam told reporters here.
The entry of Madusudanan, expelled from the AIADMK along with Panneerselvam by its general secretary VK Sasikala following a revolt last month, makes the contest three-cornered now.
The ruling AIADMK has fielded its deputy general secretary T T V Dinakaran, while the DMK has nominated N Maruthuganesh for the by-election, necessitated by the death of sitting member and former chief minister J Jayalalithaa on December 5, 2016.
