The Janata Dal-Secular, with three Lok Sabha members and 26 legislators in Karnataka, said Thursday it will vote for United Progressive Alliance (UPA) presidential nominee Pranab Mukherjee.
Both Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Mukherjee had sought support, JD-S president and former prime minister H.D. Deve Gowda told reporters.
Gowda said Mukherjee wanted him to make public his party's stand and so "I called the press to announce our support".
The three JD-S Lok Sabha members include Deve Gowda and his son H.D. Kumaraswamy.
