Actor-politician C. Joseph Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has staked a claim to form the government in Tamil Nadu after emerging as the single largest party in the Assembly elections, winning 108 seats. The results of the state assembly elections was announced on May 4, 2026.  With no party securing the required majority mark of 118 in the 234-member Assembly, the state has entered a phase of political uncertainty and intense negotiations.
