IUML to Contest 3 seats on DMK symbol

The State unit of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), a constituent of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-led front, will contest three seats in the Assembly elections. The agreement was signed on Saturday by M. Karunanidhi, DMK president and Chief Minister, and K.M. Khader Mohideen, IUML leader, at Anna Arivalayam here. The IUML will contest on the DMK symbol, according to the agreement.
The initial response of the DMK was to provide only two seats. Eventually, it agreed to give three. Over the years, his party had contested from 27 constituencies. It had a strong presence in districts such as Ramanathapuram, Vellore, Tirunelveli and Thanjavur.
