Jangipur, Oct 10 (IANS): Poor voter turnout was reported Wednesday in West Bengal's Jangipur Lok Sabha constituency where President Pranab Mukherjee's son Abhijit Mukherjee is contesting the by-election for the Congress after his father vacated the seat.

Until 11 a.m. only 21 percent voting had taken place, an Election Commission official said. But the balloting was peaceful.

Apart from Abhijit, Communist Party of India-Marxist's (CPI-M) Muzaffar Hussain and Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Sudhangshu Biswas are contesting.

The ruling Trinamool Congress has not fielded a candidate. Pranab Mukherjee was elected from Jangipur to the Lok Sabha in 2004 and 2009.
