However, the AIADMK is yet to decide and the leadership is facing an unenviable task of finalising candidates for the two seats it can get, balancing between interests of its own leaders, allies and potential allies.

AIADMK sources said at least 12 senior functionaries, including former ministers, are expecting a berth in the Upper House. A few of them are waiting for a long time. Two senior leaders - one from northern Tamil Nadu and other from western Tamil Nadu, on anonymity, told TNIE they are expecting the Rajya Sabha tickets for the past two or three occasions.
