Dr. K Padmarajan aka 'Election King' has contested as an Independent candidate from many seats in various elections since 1988 but has never won an election.

To be precise, he has filed a total of 201 nominations until now. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, K. Padmarajan even contested against Rahul Gandhi from Wayanad and in 1991 he contested against P.V. Narasimha Rao. Not so surprisingly, the Guinness Book of world record listed him as the world's "most unsuccessful candidate". Watch his unique life story here.
