AIADMK-Led NDA Prepares for Third Electoral Bid in Tamil Nadu

The AIADMK-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Tamil Nadu is preparing for its third electoral attempt after setbacks in the 2019 Lok Sabha and 2021 Assembly elections, where it won only one Lok Sabha seat and lost power to the DMK. The alliance recently revived ties with the PMK and welcomed the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) led by T.T.V. Dhinakaran. Other smaller parties like the Tamil Maanila Congress and Indhiya Jananayaga Katchi also remain part of the NDA ahead of the 2026 elections.
