MDMK’s general body to take a decision on alliance on Saturday
The MDMK party is convening a general body meeting to decide whether to exit the DMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu. There is significant speculation that the party may shift its support to the TVK-led coalition, potentially impacting the political landscape of the state.
Why it matters
This shift could significantly alter the power dynamics in Tamil Nadu politics and weaken the DMK's coalition strength ahead of future legislative challenges.
With speculation rife that the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) will join the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK)-led alliance, MDMK chief Vaiko on Friday (June 26, 2026) convened the party’s high-level committee to decide on switching alliances.
