The [[2016 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|elections of 2016]] resulted in his constituency being won by [[S. Aravind Ramesh]] of the [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]].<ref>{{cite web |title=15th Assembly Members |publisher=Government of Tamil Nadu |url=http://www.assembly.tn.gov.in/15thassembly/members/001_050.html |access-date=2017-04-26}}</ref> Kandan was one of thirteen AIADMK MLAs in the Greater [[Chennai]] area who were deselected by the party, apparently in an attempt to thwart a potential anti-incumbency backlash from the electorate following the [[2015 South Indian floods|recent flooding]]. It was felt that fresh faces would put some distance between the past and the present.<ref>{{cite news |work=Deccan Chronicle |title=MLAs in flood-hit areas denied tickets |first=C.
