Kolathur 2026: Can CM Stalin Retain His Stronghold for Fourth Term?
•Kolathur, a high-profile constituency in Chennai, is set for the 2026 Assembly election, with CM MK Stalin expected to contest for a fourth consecutive term.
•The constituency has been a DMK stronghold for over a decade, consistently favoring the party in recent elections, including Stalin's significant win in 2021 by over 70,000 votes.
•Key issues for voters include urban infrastructure (road connectivity, drainage, flood mitigation), housing, basic amenities, employment, skill development, healthcare, and education access.
•The contest is traditionally bipolar between DMK and AIADMK, with smaller parties struggling to pose a serious challenge.
•DMK will highlight development projects and welfare initiatives, while opposition parties may focus on urban congestion and cost of living.
