The AIADMK-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is preparing for the 2026 elections in Tamil Nadu, marking its third attempt after setbacks in the 2019 Lok Sabha and 2021 Assembly elections. In the 2019 elections, the NDA managed to secure only one seat in the Lok Sabha from Theni, and in the subsequent elections, it lost power to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) after a decade-long rule. Recently, the NDA has strengthened its coalition by reviving ties with the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) and the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK), led by T.T.V. Dhinakaran, who rejoined the NDA in January 2026. Additionally, smaller parties such as the Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) and the Indhiya Jananayaga Katchi have also aligned with the NDA, potentially increasing its chances in the upcoming elections.
