On December 21, Dinakaran won the by-election for the Radhakrishnan Nagar assembly constituency, trouncing AIADMK and DMK candidates.
In addition, this will be the first session post the disqualification of 18 lawmakers owing allegiance to Dinakaran by Speaker P. Dhanapal.
The 18 legislators were disqualified for submitting a memorandum to the state Governor seeking a change of Chief Minister in the place of K. Palaniswami.
