In the recently concluded Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, Udhayanidhi Stalin, the youth wing secretary of the DMK, contested from the Chennai Chepauk-Tiruvallikeni constituency. This is the first time he is contesting an election.
Udhayanidhi won the election by a margin of more than 68,000 votes. Junior Stalin, who received his certificate of success, presented it to his father and DMK leader MK Stalin.
