Tamil Nadu voted on April 23, 2026. The results for the 234 constituencies will be announced on May 4, 2026. This election features a fierce contest primarily between MK Stalin’s DMK and the AIADMK-led NDA alliance.
The entry of actor C. Joseph Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is expected to shake up the political landscape. His debut in the elections could introduce unexpected dynamics.
AIADMK aims to retain its influence in the western region while trying to gain ground in northern, central, and Greater Chennai areas to regain power.
Key constituencies include:
- Kolathur
- Perambur
- Tiruchirappalli (East)
- Bodinayakanur
- Edappadi
- Mylapore
- Chepauk–Thiruvallikeni
- Sriperumbudur
- Sattur
C. Joseph Vijay is contesting against RD Shekar in Perambur. Meanwhile, MK Stalin faces P Santhana Krishnan in Kolathur.
Udhayanidhi Stalin is campaigning against Aadirajaram in Chepauk–Thiruvallikeni. O Panneerselvam is up against VT Narayanasamy in Bodinayakanur, while Edappadi K Palaniswami contests against Kasi C in Edappadi.
The AIADMK lost ground to the DMK-led alliance during the previous elections in 2021. Observers are closely watching how TVK’s participation may alter voting trends.
