Prior to this election, expectations leaned heavily towards MK Stalin’s ruling party, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). Many analysts predicted another term for Stalin, who had been in power for five years.

However, TVK won a decisive 85 seats and is leading on an additional 22 seats out of a total of 234 constituencies. This represents a significant vote share of 34.72 percent, translating to approximately 1.18 crore votes.

The DMK managed to secure only 41 seats, with a vote share around 24 percent, equating to about 84 lakh votes. The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) followed with 32 seats.

A key moment occurred when MK Stalin lost his Kolathur constituency to TVK candidate V S Babu by around 8,700 votes. This loss has raised questions about the DMK’s future leadership.

Udhayanidhi Stalin, MK Stalin’s son, did manage to win his Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni constituency. He stated, “The people of Tamil Nadu have delivered their verdict, and we humbly accept it.” This reflects a shift in public sentiment.

Sivakarthikeyan congratulated Vijay on his victory, emphasizing its significance: “Congratulations to Vijay sir for achieving such a big victory and impact in his first election.” This indicates a strong endorsement from influential figures within the industry.

The results indicate a potential realignment in Tamil Nadu politics. Experts suggest that this could mark the beginning of a new era for the state.

Thirumavalavan, leader of the VCK, refuted claims that he is seeking the Deputy Chief Minister position, emphasizing his commitment to the unity of the DMK alliance. He condemned attempts to create divisions within the coalition, asserting that such efforts are detrimental to their collective goals.

Despite the party’s historical policy of demanding a ‘share in stock’ during elections, Thirumavalavan confirmed that VCK has not made such demands for the upcoming elections. This decision reflects a strategic shift aimed at fostering solidarity within the alliance.

Thirumavalavan expressed confidence in the DMK alliance’s prospects, stating, “The DMK alliance will win over 200 constituencies.” His optimism is rooted in the belief that candidate selections are based on principles of social justice, which he defended vigorously.

In a notable change, Thirumavalavan confirmed he will not contest from Kattumannarkoil, a constituency he has previously represented. Instead, Jyothimani will run in his place, marking a significant shift in the electoral strategy for the VCK.

This announcement comes as the political climate in Tamil Nadu heats up ahead of the elections scheduled for April 5, 2026. The implications of Thirumavalavan’s withdrawal from the race could influence voter dynamics and party strategies.

As the election date approaches, the focus will be on how the DMK alliance adapts to these changes and whether they can maintain their unity in the face of external pressures.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full list of candidates and the strategies that will be employed by the VCK and its allies in the upcoming elections.
