Bengaluru, Oct 6: The Opposition JD(S) in Karnataka decided to field Ammajamma, wife of late party MLA Sathyanarayana, as the party nominee for the Sira Assembly by-election scheduled for November 3.

Former prime minister and the JD(S) National Leader H D Deve Gowda announced the party's nominee to contest the by-elections.

The by-election was necessitated after the demise of the sitting JD(S) member Sathyanarayana, who had got elected in the May-2018 assembly elections.

The party candidate Ammajamma is the wife of the former member of the Sira Assembly seat, Sathyanarayana, who had passed away recently after a brief illness.

The Congress party, which was the coalition partner of the JD(S) government led by H D Kumaraswamy, had named former Minister T B Jayachandra for the Sira seat.

The ruling BJP is yet to announce its candidate for the seat.
