2026 - Contesting from Melur constituency as NTK candidate in Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections
Achievements
• Represents NTK which achieved 6.72% vote share in 2021 Assembly elections, emerging as third-largest party in Tamil Nadu
• Part of NTK's statewide campaign fielding candidates in all 234 constituencies, demonstrating organizational reach
• NTK became eligible for state party status in 2025 after securing over 8.2% vote share in 2024 Lok Sabha elections
Kottaikumar represents NTK, a party gaining traction among Tamil youth and nationalist voters, with NTK's vote share growing from 1.1% (2016) to 6.72% (2021). However, pre-election surveys for 2026 predict NTK may secure only 4-5% vote share with no seats expected, suggesting limited electoral prospects despite ideological appeal.
