“Congratulations to Vijay sir for achieving such a big victory and impact in his first election,” said actor Sivakarthikeyan, capturing the excitement surrounding Actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) as it made a remarkable debut in the Tamil Nadu elections on May 4, 2026.

As of the latest trends, TVK is leading in 110 of the 234 constituencies. This performance marks a significant shift in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape, breaking the long-standing duopoly of traditional parties like DMK and AIADMK. The AIADMK-led alliance is currently ahead in 62 seats, while the ruling DMK alliance holds 61 seats.

Vijay contested from two constituencies—Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East—and he is leading in both. In Tiruchirappalli East, he boasts a margin of 6,499 votes at the end of the first counting round. TVK has secured an impressive 34.72 percent of the vote share, translating to about 1.18 crore votes.

Key statistics:

• TVK leading in 110 out of 234 constituencies
• AIADMK-led alliance leading in 62 seats
• DMK alliance ahead in 61 seats
• TVK’s vote share: 34.72% (approx. 1.18 crore votes)
• Voter turnout: 85.1%, the highest in state history

The voter turnout reflects a vibrant engagement among citizens—85.1%, marking the highest participation rate in Tamil Nadu’s electoral history. K Annamalai expressed his satisfaction, stating, “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, and yes to a generational shift in politics.” This sentiment resonates with many who are eager for change.

TVK’s promises, including monthly assistance of Rs.2,500 for women under 60 years of age—excluding beneficiaries of similar existing schemes—have attracted significant attention and support from voters.

As TVK workers celebrated outside their headquarters in Chennai, it became clear that this election could redefine power dynamics across urban centers and rural areas alike. The party’s performance even cut through traditional DMK strongholds.

The next steps for TVK remain uncertain as officials continue to tally votes and finalize results. However, with their current standing as the single-largest party in the Assembly, expectations are high for what lies ahead.
