Chennai : In an evolving historic shift in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape, actor-turned-politician Vijay’s TVK is looking poised to win the Assembly elections on its own by achieving simple majority of 118 seats as the trends suggested. While party chief Vijay was leading in both Perambur and Tiruchirapalli, the TVK was closing in on the half-way mark with the AIADMK and DMK struggling to even reach a 70-seat mark. In another likely setback for Chief Minister MK Stalin, the DMK president was trailing by quite a margin in Kolathur, the lone seat he is contesting.
However, Udayanidhi Stalin was leading in Chepauk. Meanwhile, Congress expressed willingness to lend support to the TVK just in case it falls short of the majority mark. Earlier, the counting of votes started at 8 am on Monday, with many rounds of counting still to go. Stay tuned to indiatoday.in for the latest updates. TVK Candidate Vijay Dhamu has won from Royapuram in North Chennai. He is an auto driver and has defeated AIADMK strongman and former Minister D Jayakumar and DMK’s Subair Khan, who is the son of former minister Rahman Khan.
Actor Kajal Aggarwal hailed Vijay and his party’s victory in the Tamil Nadu Assembly Election 2026. “Naan oru thadava sonna, nooru thadava sonna maari” and today, the people have echoed it back with absolute conviction. Heartiest congratulations to Vijay on this spectacular and resounding victory! This moment is a true testament to your vision, your perseverance, and the unwavering love people have for you,” she wrote on X.
Andhra Pradesh minister Nara Lokesh on Monday congratulated TVK supremo Vijay for his party’s spectacular debut in elections. “The outcome reflects the evolving aspirations of the state’s electorate and adds a new dimension to its political landscape. Wishing him the very best as he steps into public life and works towards addressing the expectations of the people with responsibility and commitment,” he wrote on X.

TVK’s C Thangaraju ended up in third place with 42, 225 votes. Speaking to the press, BJP’s Mylapore candidate Tamilisai Soundararajan said her party’s work would continue irrespective of results. She noted voters have placed trust in Vijay, expressing hope he will justify that faith. At the same time, she questioned whether the trend reflects a pro-Vijay surge or broader discontent against the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government.
