Tamil Nadu election 2026: Madurai East constituency needs an upgrade to meet rapid urbanisation
In the upcoming 2026 Assembly election for Madurai East, incumbent DMK MLA P. Moorthy faces competition from K. Mahendran of AIADMK and other candidates like K. Selvam of Naam Tamilar Katchi and S. Karthikeyan of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. Moorthy, who has won the seat in 2016 and 2021 with significant margins, is seeking a hat-trick victory by highlighting his infrastructure achievements and addressing local concerns like basic infrastructure deficiencies, waterbody restoration, solid waste management, and healthcare facilities. While the DMK enjoys strong support in the constituency, the AIADMK is focusing on exposing alleged corruption within the DMK government to sway voters. The election promises to be a close contest with various political parties vying for victory.
