Panruti, known as the cashew capital of Tamil Nadu, is witnessing a significant electoral contest primarily between K. Mohan of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and Abdul Rahman of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK). This election is particularly notable due to the absence of T. Velmurugan, who previously held the seat and won elections in 2001, 2006, and 2021. In the last election, Velmurugan defeated Satya Panneerselvam of the AIADMK by a margin of 4,967 votes. With nine candidates in total, the rivalry between AIADMK and VCK is expected to shape the political landscape in this key region, which is vital for the cashew industry.
