Mumbai: The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Friday released a list of 173 candidates who will contest the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections to be held in the same phase on 6 April.
DMK chief MK Stalin will once again contest from Kolathur, while his son, actor-turned-politician Udhayanidhi, will fight Chepak-Triplicane. The party will field candidates in 186 of the total 234 assembly seats.
On Tuesday, Stalin sealed an agreement with Tamil Nadu institution Konganadu Makkal Desiya Katchi, which will contest in three assembly segments on the ‘Rising Sun’ symbol of the Dravidian party.
The DMK has allocated 25 seats to its ally Congress Party, and six seats to CPI, CPI-M, Viduthalai Chirutigal Kachi and MDMK. In total, 60 clauses have been set by the DMK for allies.

“Of these 60 segments, Vaiko-led MDMK and four smaller parties would contest on the Rising Sun symbol which works out to a total of 12 segments and in effect, these dozen seats would also be regarded officially as DMK’s constituencies,” news agency PTI reported.
The Indian Union Muslim League and Manithania Makkal Katchi have been sanctioned three and two constituencies respectively by the DMK. In addition, KMDK and other smaller parties, Aadhi Tamizhar Peravai, Tamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi and Makkal Viduthalai Katchi have got one seat each from DMK.
