Seeman Announces Contesting Ambasamudram Bypoll, NTK Campaign to Launch November 26
Seeman, chief coordinator of Naam Thamilar Katchi (NTK), announced his intention to contest the Ambasamudram assembly by-election following the resignation of AIADMK's Esakki Subaya, who joined Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK). NTK plans to launch its campaign from Palayamkottai on November 26, coinciding with LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran's birthday. Seeman emphasized NTK as an alternative to established parties and dismissed electoral calculations based on winning chances. The bypoll follows recent political shifts in the constituency.
