'''By-elections''' to two state assembly constituencies were held in [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]], in two separate phases. Election for [[Madurai Central (State Assembly Constituency)|Madurai Central]] was held on 11 October 2006 and for [[Madurai West (State Assembly Constituency)|Madurai West]] was held on 26 June 2007. The election results were not expected to change the prospects of the party in power, the [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK), and its Chief Minister [[M. Karunanidhi]].<br />
<br />
Both phases of this by-election resulted in a big victory for DMK and [[Indian National Congress]], who were part of the [[Democratic Progressive Alliance]]. Even though in [[2006 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|2006 assembly elections]], AIADMK and its allies got more votes than DPA, when all the constituencies in [[Madurai]] are taken into account, the victory in both Madurai constituencies shows the increase in support by the people of Madurai for the DMK government and its policies since 2006.<br />
