CHENNAI: The DMK-led alliance is set to hold crucial seat-sharing talks with the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) on Wednesday, even as key negotiations within the ruling front remain unresolved with just days left for the nomination process to begin on March 30.
With the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections scheduled for April 23, uncertainty continues to surround the finalisation of seat-sharing arrangements within the DMK alliance.
Despite several rounds of discussions, the ruling party has not yet completed negotiations with all its partners, triggering unease within the coalition.
So far, the DMK has allotted 28 seats to the Congress, five seats each to the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist), and four seats to the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK).
Smaller allies, including the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), and the Kongunadu People’s National Party, have been given two seats each.
