Polls about a year away, parties such as VCK, PMK, DMDK are organising large rallies & conferences to mobilise support bases, and send signals to their existing or prospective allies.
V Vijaya Prabhakaran has been appointed secretary of DMDK’s youth wing ahead of the 2026 assembly election, as he sets out to carry forward the legacy of his father, Vijayakanth.
Pitted against sitting Congress MP B. Manickam Tagore & NDA's Radhika Sarathkumar, Prabhakaran is expected to make the contest triangular even though this is his debut.
While releasing the list, party general secretary, Edappadi K Palaniswami, said that five constituencies have been allocated to the DMDK; and one each to Puthiya Tamilagam and SDPI.
Apart from DMK, leaders from AIADMK, DMDK & Congress join BJP. State BJP chief Annamalai says first time in history of Tamil Nadu that 16 former representatives were joining the party.
Vijayakanth's 'legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of his fans... and the corridors of public service', writes Modi on his website www.narendramodi.in. The actor-politician died last week.
Actor-turned politician, who had contracted COVID-19, passes away aged 71. His party, DMDK, won vote share of over 8 percent in its poll debut in 2006 & became TN's main opposition in 2011.
Last week, actor-politician Vijayakanth handed over reins of his party DMDK to his wife Premalatha. But questions were raised about the manner of this power transfer.
After three-rounds of negotiations with AIADMK over seat sharing, the DMDK said it was moving out of the alliance due to non-allocation of specific constituencies and seats.
