Several prominent DMK candidates are leading in their respective constituencies, reinforcing the party’s early advantage. Notable among them are:

A Raja: A senior DMK leader and former Union Minister, with a strong political presence in the state.
T R Baalu: Another veteran politician, who has held various ministerial positions in the central government.
