Man Participates in General Elections 238 Times Always Loses, Never Wins at All, Until Being Dubbed the Best Election Loser

Dream - Maybe you have heard of a contestant in the elections who failed multiple times but continued to try his luck through that democracy party. Failing once, twice, or even three times may be common. But, this man from India named K. Padmarajan is different. He has lost up to 238 times in general elections.

This Man Participated in General Elections 238 Times Always Losing, Never Winning at All, Until He Was Dubbed the Best Election Loser

Dijuluki Raja Pemilu translates to "Dubbed the King of Elections" in English.

Because of hundreds of failures in the political world, K. Padmarajan earned the nickname "Election King". In fact, he was even dubbed as the Best Election Loser in the World because he always lost every time the democracy party was held. However, this repairman is a diligent and never-give-up politician despite continuous failures.

" A 65-year-old man from the state of Tamil Nadu has participated in hundreds of elections over the past three decades. He has even spent thousands of dollars to register as a presidential candidate and a member of parliament."

"Once Almost Won 13 Years Ago"

"The latest 'victory' he ever achieved in an election was in 2011. At that time, he ran as a member of the DPRD in Kota Mettur and received 6,273 votes. Unfortunately, Padmarajan's vote count was far from his political opponent who obtained more than 75,000 votes."

However, the resounding defeat did not make his mentality fall and become crazy. Instead, he used the defeat as a spirit to win in the next election.

Follow the General Election But Do Not Expect to Win

Experiencing consecutive defeats, Padmarajan changed his perspective on the political world. Padmarajan recently emphasized that victory is the second goal. "All candidates aim for victory in the election, but I don't," said the eternal candidate recently.

"Predicted to Lose Again in the Upcoming Election"

And he was not joking. After 238 failed attempts in elections, Padmarajan seemed to extend his consecutive defeats. This year, he will participate in his 239th election. This time to compete for a parliamentary seat in the Dharmapuri district, Tamil Nadu. However, according to calculations, Padmarajan is likely to fail again. But victory is not everything for him.

The story of Padmarajan began in 1998 when he ran for office in his hometown, Mettur. He realized he had very little chance, but he wanted to show that ordinary people have the right to run for office.

"Wish to be an Example for the Young Generation"

During the last three decades, the Election King has lost in elections against important figures such as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But he bears his defeat without complaining and protesting. This is to make his attitude a role model for the younger generation.
