Thirumavalavan, leader of the VCK, refuted claims that he is seeking the Deputy Chief Minister position, emphasizing his commitment to the unity of the DMK alliance. He condemned attempts to create divisions within the coalition, asserting that such efforts are detrimental to their collective goals.

Despite the party’s historical policy of demanding a ‘share in stock’ during elections, Thirumavalavan confirmed that VCK has not made such demands for the upcoming elections. This decision reflects a strategic shift aimed at fostering solidarity within the alliance.

Thirumavalavan expressed confidence in the DMK alliance’s prospects, stating, “The DMK alliance will win over 200 constituencies.” His optimism is rooted in the belief that candidate selections are based on principles of social justice, which he defended vigorously.

In a notable change, Thirumavalavan confirmed he will not contest from Kattumannarkoil, a constituency he has previously represented. Instead, Jyothimani will run in his place, marking a significant shift in the electoral strategy for the VCK.

This announcement comes as the political climate in Tamil Nadu heats up ahead of the elections scheduled for April 5, 2026. The implications of Thirumavalavan’s withdrawal from the race could influence voter dynamics and party strategies.

As the election date approaches, the focus will be on how the DMK alliance adapts to these changes and whether they can maintain their unity in the face of external pressures.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full list of candidates and the strategies that will be employed by the VCK and its allies in the upcoming elections.
