Elections 2019: DMK will contest in South Chennai

The DMK party has decided to contest in the South Chennai constituency in the Lok Sabha elections. This was made known on Friday when it released a list of the places from which it and its allies would contest from. The party is expected to release its list late Saturday or on Sunday.

The city had been a fortress of the DMK until Jayalalithaa helped AIADMK wrest the three city-based seats from the DMK in previous polls.

Poet-public speaker Thamizhachi Thangapandian is said to be a strong contender for the DMK’s ticket for South Chennai ( Mylapore zone falls under this constituency).
