TVK chief C Joseph Vijay on Thursday announced the party’s candidates for the October 6 Tamil Nadu Assembly bypolls in the reserved constituencies of Madurantakam and Dharapuram.
The bypolls in the two SC-reserved constituencies will be contested under the banner of the “Secular Social Justice Victory Alliance”.
According to an official press release issued by the party, former AIADMK MLA and TVK deputy general secretary K Maragatham Kumaravel will contest from Madurantakam (SC), while former AIADMK MLA P Sathyabama, who is currently the TVK’s Tiruppur south-east district secretary, will contest from Dharapuram (SC).
Both candidates had won their respective constituencies on AIADMK tickets in the 2026 Assembly election.
Maragatham Kumaravel and Sathyabama later resigned as MLAs and joined the ruling TVK.
Urging party functionaries and cadres to work for the candidates’ victory, Vijay said, “I kindly request all party office-bearers and comrades to gather votes for our winning candidates with victory as the sole objective, ensuring a historically significant triumph.”
