For the 32nd time, he chose to dress up as a clown with colour dresses and submitted his nomination to electoral officer.

Another candidate Kathiresan also filed nomination.

While, DMK named former state minister, Pongalur N Palanisamy for the seat, AMMK announced Sukumar as its candidate and AIADMK is yet to select the candidate for the constituency, which fell vacant following the death of AIADMK MLA, Kanagaraj.
