Nestled in the northwest of Chennai, Kolathur is far from ordinary. One of the State’s most high-profile seats, Kolathur constituency has been represented by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for the past 15 years. Naturally, it is closely watched for its infrastructure push, civic amenities, and efforts to tackle local challenges, particularly flooding.
In a four-cornered contest, Mr. Stalin is seeking a fourth consecutive term from Kolathur, aiming to retain his stronghold while facing familiar rivals from the AIADMK, a veteran, who was formerly with the AIADMK and joined the debutant TVK recently, and a contender from the NTK.
