Coimbatore: The Congress party has officially released its candidate list for the upcoming 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, where it will contest as part of the DMK-led alliance. The announcement has brought clarity to several constituencies across the state, particularly in Coimbatore district.
For the Kavundampalayam constituency in Coimbatore district, the party has nominated Surya Prakash as its official candidate. The announcement comes after weeks of speculation and anticipation among party workers and supporters in the constituency.
The declaration has immediately sparked political activity in Kavundampalayam, with the election atmosphere heating up well ahead of the 2026 polls.
