'''[[Nagercoil]]''' was a [[Lok Sabha]] constituency in [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]]. [[K. Kamaraj Nadar|K. Kamaraj]]. The first elected Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu was elected twice to the Lok Sabha from here. It has been now named as [[Kanyakumari (Lok Sabha constituency)]].
==Kamarajar by-election victory==
The death of [[A. Nesamony]] in 1968 led to the by-election in Nagercoil constituency. Realising the popularity of [[Kamaraj]] in this constituency and the potential danger posed by Kamaraj's election after the [[Indian National Congress]] party's debacle in [[1967 Tamil Nadu state assembly election|1967 election]], [[C. Rajagopalachari]] wrote in ''Swarajya'', the magazine of the [[Swatantra Party]], about the need to defeat him and appealed to [[C. N. Annadurai]] to support [[M. Mathias]], the Swatantra Party candidate. Annadurai deputed [[M. Karunanidhi]], the then Minister for Public Works, to Nagercoil to work in support of Mathias. Despite the efforts, Kamaraj won decisively with a 1,28,201-vote margin on 8 January 1969.<ref>{{Cite book| last = P. Kandaswamy| title = The political career of K.
