Kanimozhi to Lead DMK’s Manifesto Committee for 2026 Assembly Elections
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has constituted a 12-member committee to prepare its election manifesto for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, appointing Lok Sabha MP Kanimozhi as the chairperson of the panel.
The formation of the committee marks the party’s early and structured approach towards framing its vision and policy priorities for the upcoming electoral battle. The manifesto is expected to reflect the DMK government’s governance record, social justice principles, and future developmental roadmap for Tamil Nadu.
Experienced Leadership at the Helm
Kanimozhi, a senior DMK leader and Member of Parliament, is widely regarded for her articulate leadership, policy understanding, and strong engagement with social issues. Her appointment is seen as a strategic move to ensure inclusivity, clarity, and continuity in the party’s electoral commitments.
Party sources indicate that the manifesto drafting process will involve consultations with experts, stakeholders, and grassroots representatives to incorporate public feedback and emerging challenges faced by the state.
Focus on Governance and Welfare
The committee is expected to highlight the DMK government’s initiatives in areas such as social welfare, education, healthcare, women empowerment, economic growth, and state rights. Emphasis is also likely to be placed on strengthening federal principles and safeguarding Tamil Nadu’s interests at the national level.
Early Preparation for 2026
Political observers note that forming the manifesto committee well ahead of the elections signals DMK’s intent to enter the 2026 polls with a clear narrative and well-defined policy agenda. The move also reflects the party’s confidence in its leadership structure and governance model.
With Kanimozhi at the forefront, the manifesto drafting exercise is expected to balance ideological commitment with practical governance goals, aiming to connect with a wide spectrum of voters across Tamil Nadu.
