The DMK party which a main rival has nominated Murudu Ganesh as their candidate for the DMK party.
After the demise of Jayalalitha there was a conflict in the AIADMK party and Sasikala who was a friend of Jayalalitha happened to be victorious over Panneerselvam faction and finally claim power of the party. Palaniswami was appointed as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu by her. However, in August 2017 Panneerselvam and Palaniswami joined the party once again after expelling Sasikala and Dinakaran from the AIADMK party.
The R.K. Nagar bypoll was scheduled to be first held in the month of April 2017. On that occasion the Sasikala faction swayed their powers over AIADMK party and thus Dinakaran became the official candidate of the party. Madusudanan on that occasion became the candidate of the Panneerselvam faction. But accusations began to circulate that the Sasikala faction had offered bribes to the voters which then resulted in the bypoll being postponed.
