Tanjore has two municipalities -- Pattukkottai, Adiram Pattinam and 20 municipalities, which include Vallam, Madukkur, Thiruvaiyaru, Orathanadu, Peravurani, Swamimalai and Perumagalur.

Going by the trends, there could be a photo-finish between the DMK and the AIADMK for the two mayoral posts. Other parties in the fray in Kumbakonam include BJP, AIADMK, and Naam Tamilar Katchi. DMK is contesting alone here.

There are 51 wards in Tanjore Corporation and 48 wards in Kumbakonam Corporation. Altogether there are 99 wards on offer. The party that wins the most seats in these 99 wards is the most likely candidate for the mayoral post. 

Therefore, there is a great expectation as to whom the voters of the Kumbakonam area will support this time in the urban local elections. At present, DMK has 23 seats in Kumbakonam. Read Asianet Newsable to know the latest updates from here.
