Chennai, March 1 The DMK finalized seat-sharing agreements with two smaller parties – the IUML and MMK – allocating two seats each to the parties.
The party is in negotiations with the Congress and the MDMK, led by Vaiko, and talks with other allies, namely the VCK and DMDK, have yet to begin.
Chief Minister M K Stalin, who is the president of the DMK, allocated two seats each to the Indian Union Muslim League and Manithaneya Makkal Katchi, another Muslim party, at the DMK state headquarters, Anna Arivalayam, following negotiations on February 28, a release from the party said on Saturday night.
