Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) chief coordinator Seeman has confirmed that he will contest the upcoming by-election from the Ambasamudram Assembly constituency, while reports emerge that the party will field candidates in the remaining vacant Assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu as well.
According to the announcement, Seeman said he had decided to contest from Ambasamudram “to uphold the dignity of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly.”
The development comes after the Election Commission announced that six Assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu have fallen vacant and that preparations for conducting by-elections are underway, though the poll schedule has not yet been officially announced.
The by-election in Ambasamudram became necessary following the resignation of AIADMK MLA Isakki Subbiah.
Apart from Ambasamudram, by-elections are also due in Tiruchi East, Madhuranthakam, Dharapuram, Perundurai and Viralimalai, taking the total number of vacant Assembly constituencies to six.
According to the announcement, Naam Tamilar Katchi will contest all six by-elections whenever the Election Commission notifies the poll schedule, with Seeman himself entering the fray from Ambasamudram.
The by-elections will mark another significant electoral test for the NTK after the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, in which the party failed to secure any seats despite contesting across the state.
The Election Commission is yet to announce the schedule for the by-elections.
