2016 By-Election in Tamil Nadu on Nov 19,2016 - AIADMK names candidates for 3 TN Assembly constituencies - Aravakurichi,Tanjore and Thiruparankundram Wednesday Oct 19,2016

Ruling AIADMK on Wednesday Oct 19,2016 named its candidates for Thanjavur, Aravakurichi and Thirupparankundram Assembly constituencies.

The polls to Thanjavur and Aravakurichi and bypoll to Thirupparankumdram will all be held on November 19,2016

Stealing a march over rival parties, AIADMK named M Rengasamy in Thanjavur, former Transport Minister V Senthil Balaji for Aravakurichi and AK Bose from Thirupparankundram.

AIADMK also named Om Sakthi Sekar, former MLA (2011-16) as its candidate for Nellithope seat in Puducherry where the Chief Minister of the Union Territory and Congress leader V Narayanasamy are all set to contest.

Note

Both Rengasamy and Senthil Balaji were the AIADMK candidates in the May 16 Assembly elections as well.

However, the poll was cancelled in the two constituencies - Aravakurichi and  Tanjore by Election Commission following seizure of huge sums of cash, distribution of money and gifts by candidates and parties.

In the 14th Assembly (2011-16), Rengasamy was an MLA and Senthil Balaji had been the Transport Minister.

As MLA-elect of Tiruparankundram constituency, SM Seenivel of AIADMK passed away days after results for the 2016 May 16 Assembly election was declared, a bypoll was necessitated.
