Despite the losses suffered in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and last year’s Assembly polls and the decline in the vote share from 3.69 per cent to 2.62 per cent, the MNM continued to get good chunk of votes from urban areas particularly, Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai. In Chennai, MNM finished third in 12 out of the 16 Assembly constituencies. A senior MNM leader said that they hoped to win a few wards in the corporations, municipalities and town panchayats.
