Vijayakanth, in a statement said, Aravai' M Muthu was the DMDK's candidate for Aravakurichi, V Abdullah Sait would contest from Thanjavur and T Thanapandian from Tiruparankundram.
While election would be held to Thanjavur and Aravakurichi, where the polling was cancelled in May following complaints of large scale bribing of voters, Tiruparankundram would face a bypoll, which was necessitated following the death of ruling AIADMK MLA Seenivel.
With the AIADMK and the main Opposition DMK announcing the candidates, the elections to three seats would witness a five cornered contest, as the BJP, the PMK and the DMDK have also announced their list.
The four-party combine PWF, that included the MDMK, the CPI, CPI(M) and the VCK, and its ally in the May 16 polls, the TMC of former Shipping Minister G K Vasan, have decided to stay away from the November 19 poll.
