Kajendran was selected by the militant Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to be one of the Tamil National Alliance's (TNA) candidates in Jaffna District at the 2004 parliamentary election. He was elected and entered Parliament. In March 2010 Kajendran, along with fellow TNA MPs Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam and Pathmini Sithamparanathan, left the TNA and formed the Tamil National People's Front (TNPF).

Kajendran contested the 2010 parliamentary election as one of the TNPF's candidates in Jaffna District but the TNPF failed to win any seats in Parliament. In February 2011 Kajendran became general secretary of the TNPF. He contested the 2015 parliamentary election as one of the TNPF's candidates in Jaffna District but again the TNPF failed to win any seats in Parliament.
