DMK-Congress Seat-Sharing Talks Continue Ahead of Tamil Nadu 2026 Elections

Ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, seat-sharing talks between the ruling DMK and ally Congress remain unresolved.

The DMK offers 25-28 seats, citing the need to accommodate new allies. Smaller allies like MMK and MDMK have also held talks with DMK. The negotiations continue amid concerns over alliance unity and potential shifts involving actor Vijay's party.
