In the Lok Sabha elections, Kameela Nasser has managed to win 92,429 votes, which translates to 12 percent of the vote share. She stood in third place in the Lok Sabha polls.

In the letter, she has written to Kamal Haasan, Kameel thanked Makkal Meedhi Maiam chief for being his teacher and everyone who traveled with her in her political journey.

'I am quitting Makkal Needhi Maiam due to my personal reasons. In this time, I thank Makkal Meedhi Maiam chief Kamal Haasan who was my teacher and taught me the political nuances and to everyone who travelled with me during this period,' she said in the letter.

Despite the controversy, MNM candidate Kameela Nasser polled 12% of the vote share and received 92,429 votes, coming third after Dayanidhi Maran and Sam Paul.
