Dhinakaran's Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) released its first list of candidates on Wednesday morning for the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

The first list included 11 former All India Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) MLAs and a former MP.

Prominent leaders include former MLAs P Palaniappan, C Shanmugavelu and G Senthamizhan, and disqualified legislators NG Parthiban, M Rengasamy and RR Murugan. S Anbalagan has been named the chairman of the party presidium.

The AMMK on Tuesday sealed an alliance with Asaduddin Owaisi-led All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), ending all hopes of reconciliation between Dhinakaran and the AIADMK.
