BJP's tribal nominee Sampatiya Uike was on Monday elected unopposed on the lone vacant Rajya Sabha seat from Madhya Pradesh.
Returning Officer and Principal Secretary AP Singh declared Uike elected as she was the only nominee left in the fray on the last day of the withdrawal of the nominations this afternoon, a state assembly secretariat official said.
On July 26, one Dr K Padmarajan had filed his nomination papers as an Independent, but it was found invalid during the scrutiny.
The bypoll was necessitated following the death of environment minister Anil Madhav
