CHENNAI: Even though AMMK leader TTV Dhinakaran did not campaign in Chennai nor his party councillor candidates were enthusiastic about victory, the party has played spoilsport for AIADMK in a handful of wards, hurting the dravidian major’s victory prospects.
The Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazham, a splinter party formed with ousted AIADMK functionaries, has chipped away significant votes, in some places securing even 30%, pulling the dravidian major down. In ward 148, AMMK candidate V Giridharan won by securing 36% votes and in five more wards, the AMMK had secured double-digit vote percent, coming second or third.
