Tamil Nadu Election 2026
The Tamil Nadu Assembly elections were held on April 23, 2026, to elect 234 members. Vote counting took place on May 4.
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) emerged as the single-largest party with 108 seats but fell short of the 118-seat majority mark. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) won 59 seats, while the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) secured 37 seats.
Vijay won in two constituencies-Trichy (East) and Perambur. He is reportedly expected to retain the Perambur seat and resign from Trichy (East).
Reports also suggest possible political realignments involving parties previously aligned with the DMK, including the Congress five seats, CPI, CPI(M), and VCK two seats each.
He is expected to be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on May 7.
