NEW DELHI: Mathrubhumi Group MD MV Shreyams Kumar sailed to victory in the by-poll held for one vacant Rajya Sabha seat from Kerala. The voting was held at the Assembly building during its one-day session. 

A two-time legislator, Shreyams Kumar won the Rajya Sabha seat held by his late father, MP Veerendra Kumar. The death of the 84-year-old media baron on May 28 had necessitated the by-poll. 

Shreyams Kumar also dons the roles of Kerala Regional Committee chairman of Indian Newspaper Society, VP of News Broadcasters Association, and global vice president of International Advertising Association.
