Corporation of Coimbatore
Kalpana Ananthakumar, 40, has been declared the mayoral candidate for Coimbatore. He won the 19th Ward of Coimbatore Corporation. It is also noteworthy that he was a first-time councilor.
Meena Jayakumar, Ilakumi Ilanchelvi and Niveda Senadhipathi were rumored to be in the fray for the post of mayor of Coimbatore. Coimbatore DMK says Kalpana is the choice of Minister Senthil Balaji.
The leadership agreed that the mayor should also be in favor of Minister Senthil Balaji as he wants Coimbatore to remain inhabited in the near future. According to the DMK, Kalpana was chosen to avoid the unnecessary fuss and power struggle within the Coimbatore DMK over the appointment of one of the first three.
92nd Ward Member Vetrich Selvan has been announced as the Deputy Mayor. It is noteworthy that this is the first time he has been elected as a member of the council.
Tirupur Corporation
Dinesh Kumar, the DMK chief in charge of Tirupur North, who has won the 49th ward, has been declared the mayoral candidate for the post of deputy mayor of Tirupur. It is noteworthy that his name was also among the top three in the race for the mayoral post.
Selvaraj
In Tiruppur, Minister Saminathan’s support came from Padmanabhan, the DMK leader in charge of the Tirupur North district, who won the 41st ward, and Senthur Muthu, a supporter of Tirupur South legislator Selvaraj. In this situation Dinesh Kumar has been declared the mayoral candidate. It is noteworthy that Dinesh Kumar is close to Udayanidhi. It is noteworthy that while the Tirupur local leadership’s preference was one, the DMK leadership chose those who were not.
Salem Corporation
A. Ramachandran, 77, has been declared the DMK’s mayoral candidate for the post of deputy mayor of Salem.
Ramachandran is one of the four leading candidates in the Salem mayoral race and the senior of the four.
Ramachandran
Ramachandran, who has been with the DMK for a long time, has been a member of the DMK since 1961 and is currently the DMK secretary for the Asthampatti area.
The fact that he has a long experience in the Salem DMK and is favorable to all parties is the main reason for his election as mayor.
Erode Corporation
Civilization
With the DMK holding both the post of Erode Corporation Mayor and Deputy Mayor, Nagaratnam has been declared the Mayor and Selvaraj the Deputy Mayor. Nagaratnam was one of the four contestants for the mayoral post.
