It may be noted that currently CPI(M) holds the seat in alliance with the DMK and is looking forward to strengthening its position in the Kongu region. However, the DMK's decision to field its own candidate in Coimbatore instead of the CPI(M) could significantly sway the voting pattern. Historically, left parties have dominated the region, while the DMK has not won the Coimbatore Lok Sabha seat since 1996. The BJP has been a formidable player in Coimbatore, winning the Lok Sabha seat once in 1999. Although the Congress does not hold significant sway in Coimbatore, its modest vote share could strengthen the DMK-led alliance.
