The DMK, in a strategic political move, has allocated two assembly seats to its ally, KMDK, for the forthcoming Tamil Nadu elections. The agreement, reached at the DMK's Anna Arivalayam headquarters, signifies a continuation of their partnership as KMDK contests under the DMK's 'Rising Sun' symbol.

During the 2021 elections, KMDK contested three seats, with its general secretary, E R Easwaran, securing a win in the Tiruchenkode constituency. The DMK's decision reflects its strategy to strengthen alliances among regional parties.
