It can be seen that this will be the first election in the state following the demise of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa, who passed away in December 2016 months after securing a massive victory in the previous Assembly polls. Her close associate Sasikala, who completed her jail term in a disproportionate asset case, recently announced her intention to "stay away from politics".

Among key candidates in the poll fray are Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and joint coordinator of AIADMK Edappadi K Palaniswami, Deputy Chief Minister and joint coordinator of AIADMK O Panneerselvam, DMK chief MK Stalin, his son and actor-producer Udhayanidhi Stalin, VK Sasikala's nephew and Amma Makkal Munettra Kazhagam (AMMK) founder TTV Dhinakaran, Actor-turned-politician and MNM founder Kamal Haasan and president of BJP's Tamil Nadu unit L Murugan.
