Key statistics:

• The AIADMK-led alliance was leading in 62 seats.
• The ruling DMK alliance was ahead in 61 seats.
• Vijay contested from two constituencies—Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East—and was leading in both.
• TVK secured 34.72 percent of the vote share, amounting to about 1.18 crore votes.
• The DMK polled around 24 percent, with about 84 lakh votes.

Vijay’s party promised a monthly assistance of Rs.2,500 for women under 60 years of age. This promise resonated with voters, contributing to TVK’s success across both urban centers and rural constituencies, including traditional DMK strongholds. TVK’s performance marks a significant shift in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape, breaking the long-standing Dravidian parties’ duopoly.

Actor Sivakarthikeyan congratulated Vijay on his victory, stating, “Congratulations to Vijay sir for achieving such a big victory and impact in his first election.” K Annamalai also expressed satisfaction with the results, saying, “I am happy to see that in my land, people have risen in one voice and spoken – no to buying of votes, no to dynastic politics.” TVK workers began celebrating outside the party’s headquarters in Chennai as trends placed them as the single-largest party in the Assembly.

As counting continues, officials expect further updates on seat allocations. The final results will determine how this new political force will shape Tamil Nadu’s future governance.
