COIMBATORE: In a dramatic shift from the 2021 Assembly election -- where the AIADMK swept all 10 constituencies in the district -- the current counting trends show a multi-cornered fight with the newly formed Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) of actor Vijay emerging as a significant disruptor.AIADMK continues to show strength in Thondamuthur, where party heavyweight S P Velumani maintains a commanding lead with a healthy margin of over 15,000 votes. The party also holds slim leads in the Pollachi and Kavundampalayam constituencies, though the contests there remain neck-and-neck.While DMK is currently leading in Mettupalayam, all eyes are on the high-stakes battle in Coimbatore South. DMK’s V Senthil Balaji is currently ahead, but his position is precarious. He holds a narrow lead of less than 1,000 votes over TVK candidate Senthilkumar, making it one of the most watched contests in the state.TVK’s Kinathukadavu TVK candidate Vignesh K secured a massive lead following the conclusion of Round 13. TVK candidates are also currently leading in four other key constituencies: Valparai, Sulur, Coimbatore North and Singanallur.As counting progresses, the traditional dominance of the Dravidian majors in Coimbatore is being sternly tested by the TVK’s unexpected momentum across both urban and rural pockets.
