Madurai Politics/Madurai Arasiyal: Tirumangalam/Thirumangalam By-Election 2008/2009
Following the death of MDMK MLA Mr.Veera Elavarasan by Nov 2008, by-election (bye-election) is announced in Thirumangalam/Tirumangalam constituency.
The election is scheduled to happen by January 9th, 2008. By January 15th the election result would be out.
MDMK chief Vaiko (Vai Gopalsamy) has paved way to the partnership for a seat in Thirumangalam legislative election. AIADMK is contesting on behalf of the partnership between AIADMK and MDMK. Candidate nomination from any of the parties is not yet done.
Interesting part is it is going to be a great war between DMK and AIADMK. It is a prestige issue for both the parties. Since the constituency is in Madurai, it is a prestige issue for Mr. Anjaa nenjan Azhagiri. This task has to be done successfully from DMK's side.
No party is released a candidate yet.
By the way - there are other parties curious to take out some votes to their plate. Vijayakanth's DMDK and Sarath kumar's AISMK would be nominating one from each party.
This would take votes from DMK and AIADMK vote banks.
Let us see how it goes and we will closely watch this election. This will prove how strong the parties are in this Madurai area - Thirumangalam/Tirumangalam!!!

Janata Dal (Secular) is backing up AIADMK in this by-election in Tirumangalam.
Update:
1) AIADMK is thinking of three possible nomination candidates - Muthuramalingam, Jayaraman and RB Udayakumar.
One of them will be selected. Most probably Muthuramalingam. Muthuramalingam moved from DMK to ADMK during 2000.
DMK has not released its nomination candidate.
1) It is going to be a triangular battle between DMK, AIADMK and DMDK.
2) DMK chief Karunanidhi criticize of the actions of MDMK and AIADMK for the elections.
LDMK chief Vijaya T. Rajendar is contesting by himself in Tirumangalam constituency 2009.
Tamil actor Simbu @ Silambarasan (son of Vijaya T.R) is doing campaign after nomination.
DMDK chief Vijayakanth showing lot of confidence in winning this election.
Even if he does not win, DMDK would take lot of votes from AIADMK bank of votes.
