There was no progress in the Tamil Nadu Assembly election seat-sharing talks between the ruling DMK and the CPI(M) on Friday, March 20, 2026. Both sides did not communicate with each other, sources said. This stalemate has delayed the next phase of preparations, including identifying constituencies and announcing candidates. Another key ally, the VCK, has demanded at least eight seats, but the DMK has offered only seven. The ongoing delay impacts the overall election timeline. DMK president and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has scheduled to launch his campaign on April 3.
