The AIADMK on Friday (March 27, 2026) released its second list of candidates, numbering 127, for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly election. Till now, the party has named 150 candidates including 23 in the first list. An interesting feature of the list was the inclusion of P. Saravanan, who in 2021 contested in the AIADMK-led front as a nominee of the BJP in Madurai (North). This time too, he is trying his luck from the same seat.
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president Vijay, on Friday (March 27, 2026), accused the Greater Chennai Police and some officials of obstructing his scheduled election campaign at the Perambur Assembly constituency in the city on Saturday (March 28) and termed the denial of permission as “a fascist attack on democracy.”

The Election Commission on Friday night published the second supplementary list under the SIR of electoral rolls in West Bengal, an official said. The poll panel, however, did not provide details on the total number of deletions or inclusions in the second list. Booth-wise lists were made available on the EC website around 11.30 p.m., but the web pages containing data about deletions or inclusions could not be accessed due to some “technical glitches”, EC said.
