Kamal Haasan to contest from Coimbatore South in TN Polls

Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan has announced that he will contest from Coimbatore South constituency in Tamil Nadu.

The CM candidate for Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), will be contesting against the BJP and Congress as the main parties in the state have allotted the Coimbatore South constituency seat to their allies.

“Coimbatore is a place close to my heart,” Haasan said while revealing MNM’s second list of candidates.

Makkal Needhi Maiam party will be competing for 154 out of 234 assembly seats in the upcoming polls. The remaining 80 seats are allotted for its two alliance partners – All India Samathuva Makkal Katchi and Indhiya Jananayaga Katchi – that will contest on 40 seats each.

Notably, Kamal Haasan’s party came into existence in 2018 against the Dravidian parties, DMK and AIADMK. They contested in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls but didn’t win any seat and registered a 3.7 percent vote share.
