AIADMK: Former Madurai Deputy Mayor Mannan, who has joined the AIADMK, is being prepared to contest the election against Minister Murthy. In the 2021 assembly elections, Minister Murthy won a landslide victory in the Madurai East constituency by securing about 52 percent of the votes. This raises the question of whether fielding Mannan against Murthy will be beneficial for the AIADMK.
