DMK’s ally, the MDMK, on Saturday announced the candidature of former MP, A Ganeshamurthi, from Erode constituency for the April 18 Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu.
Ganeshamurthi is a two-time MP, who had represented Palani in the 12th Lok Sabha (1998) and Erode during the 2009-14 period.
“Ganeshamurthi is contesting from Erode as MDMK candidate, on behalf of the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance,” MDMK founder, Vaiko, said in a statement here.
MDMK has been allotted the Erode constituency, even as DMK President, M. K. Stalin, has assured one Rajya Sabha seat to his party’s ally at the appropriate time.
Tamil Nadu has a total of 39 Lok Sabha seats.
