CHENNAI: The DMK leadership is expected to finalise seat-sharing arrangements with its remaining alliance partners, including the Left parties, on Tuesday.
Sources said the DMK is likely to allot six seats each to the CPI and CPI(M) after discussions with the party’s seat-sharing committee.
Other major alliance partners such as the DMDK and the VCK are also expected to receive around six to seven seats each in the DMK-led alliance.
Earlier, the Congress had been allotted 28 Assembly seats and one Rajya Sabha seat as part of the alliance agreement.
Among the smaller partners, the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has been given two seats, while the MMK, KMDK and MDMK have also been allotted seats as part of the alliance arrangement.
With the poll schedule already announced, the DMK leadership is expected to complete the seat-sharing exercise with all allies soon, paving the way for the announcement of candidates for the upcoming Assembly election.
