Kamal Haasan on Saturday announced that his party Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) will ally with Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and extend full support for the Lok Sabha elections.
Amid speculations that Haasan’s party might be allotted seats to contest the Parliamentary polls, the DMK has allocated one seat to MNM for the 2025 Rajya Sabha polls.
Haasan said: “My party and I are not contesting this election. But we will give all cooperation to this alliance. We have joined hands as this is not just for a position, this is for the nation.”
MNM will campaign for the alliance in the 39 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu and the lone Puducherry segment.
DMK has allotted two seats each to the Communist Party of India and CPIM, as well as one each to the Indian Union Muslim League and the Kongu Desa Makkal Katchi.
The Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi has also been allotted two seats. Sources say Congress is likely to get ten seats.
