Congress Gets 9 Seats In Tamil Nadu As DMK Repeats 2019 Formula

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's party DMK has finalised a seat-sharing pact with its ally Congress. The party has allotted nine seats to the Congress in Tamil Nadu and one in Puducherry - a rerun of its 2019 formula. The Congress had won nine out of the ten seats it fought in 2019. Tamil Nadu has 39 Lok Sabha seats.

M K Stalin and TNCC chief K Selvaperunthagai finalised the deal, in the presence of senior Congress leaders KC Venugopal and Ajoy Kumar.

Mr Venugopal asserted the DMK-led combine would win all 40 seats in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry and said the 'bonding' between the Congress and the DMK "is intact." "We will fight together and win together," he said.
