TRIVANDRUM, 30 September 2003 — Sebastian Paul, an independent candidate backed by the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), yesterday won the bitterly contested Ernakulam Lok Sabha by-election from Kerala. Paul won with a margin of 22,134 votes, leaving behind his rival, Congress’ M.O John, whose campaign had been marred by bitter infighting in the party between Chief Minister A.K. Antony and veteran leader K. Karunakaran.
