Karunanidhi fails to vote in prez election due to poor health

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam chief M Karunanidhi could not cast his vote in Monday's presidential election due to health reasons, party working president M K Stalin said here.

After voting in the election at the Assembly Secretariat, Stalin said the nonagenarian leader could not vote in view of his health and doctor's advise.

Karunanidhi has been unwell since December last and barring him, all other 88 DMK legislators voted in the election.

The DMK patriarch had voted in the 2012 presidential poll when Pranab Mukherjee was elected president.
