Embalam Assembly Elections 2016

Current Trend

In the 2014 general parliamentary elections, the AINRC candidate from the Puducherry Lok Sabha constituency, R. Radhakrishnan, had established a slender lead of 487 votes over his nearest Congress rival and then sitting MP V. Narayanasamy in the Embalam assembly segment.

While the Congress has once again made it former minister M. Kandasamy its nominee for the Embalam assembly seat in 2016 assembly elections to the Union Territory of Puducherry, M. Ramadass and Govindarasu are in the fray on behalf of the BJP and AIADMK respectively. With these nominations it becomes amply clear that the Embalam seat is all set for a multi-cornered contest.

AINRC has fielded its sitting Embalam MLA from the Nettapakkam assembly constituency. His nephew U Lakshmikanthan is the nominee on behalf of the party from Embalam assembly seat.
