The Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam has fielded former Government Chief Whip R.Manoharan for the Tiruchi East Assembly constituency and former Mayor Sarubala R.Tondaiman for the Srirangam constituency.
In the previous election, Mr. Manoharan contesting on a AIADMK ticket lost to K.N. Nehru in Tiruchi West. Mr. Manoharan, who had represented Tiruchi East earlier, was initially re-nominated for the constituency in 2016 but was shifted to Tiruchi West apparently after the party wanted an experienced candidate to take on Mr. Nehru.
