Three affiliates have decided to leave the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) led by R. Sampanthan and form a new political group.
They are Selvam Addaikkalanathan’s TELO, D. Siddharthan-led PLOTE and the EPRLF of Suresh Premachandran.
A new political alliance by them together with Tamil Congress led by Gajendra Kumar Ponnambalam and C.V. Vigneswaran’s party to contest future elections is expected.
