Profile

About K. Mohan

His first Assembly term began in 2026. Mohan was introduced as a fresh face on AIADMK's second candidate list of 127 names released on 27 March 2026 — part of EPS's strategy to inject new candidates in seats where the AIADMK had lost to DMK in 2021.

Party & ideology

Mohan is one of the AIADMK's 2026 first-term batch in Cuddalore district — part of EPS's organisational rebuild that paired senior strongmen with newer faces in seats where the AIADMK had narrowly lost in 2021. Panruti was held by DMK's T. Velmurugan in 2021; Mohan's flip back delivers Cuddalore (north) to the AIADMK in a year when the alliance arithmetic split the anti-DMK vote across AIADMK and TVK.
