Stalin's DMK set for sweeping victory in Tamil Nadu urban local body polls
Chennai/IBNS: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's DMK is set for a sweeping victory in the urban local body elections which were held last Saturday, media reports said.
The counting of votes began at 8 am on Tuesday.
DMK, which has been ruling the state since 2021, is leading in 289 of 1,374 corporation wards.
AIADMK has so far emerged as a distant second with only 49 seats.
AIADMK's former ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which rules the country but has a negligible presence, is leading in three seats.
The urban local body polls are being held after a gap of 10 years.
Stalin became the Chief Minister last year after the DMK uninstalled the AIADMK government in the state.
