Former AIADMK MLA Seeks to Withdraw Resignation Amid By-Election Delays
Esakki Subaya, a former AIADMK MLA from Ambasamudram, has sought to withdraw his resignation submitted in May 2026, citing concerns over his constituency lacking representation amid delays in by-elections. The Madras High Court declined to accept his additional affidavit during ongoing hearings challenging the Speaker's acceptance of multiple AIADMK resignations. The Election Commission noted that by-elections cannot proceed in several vacant seats due to pending election petitions, complicating the political dispute involving AIADMK and the ruling TVK government.
