Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026: Vijay's Party Emerges Victorious with Congress Support

Election Results Transform Tamil Nadu Politics

The results of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in 2026 have significantly altered the political landscape of the state. Vijay, who transitioned from acting to politics, has led his party, 'Tamilga Vetri Kazhagam', to victory with 108 seats, establishing it as the largest party. In a crucial development for government formation, the Congress party has pledged its support to TVK.

However, this support comes with conditions. The primary stipulation from Congress is that Vijay's government must not include any 'communal forces' that do not adhere to the core principles of the Constitution. The Congress leadership has made it clear that this alliance is not just for forming a government but also aims for collaboration in upcoming local body elections and the Lok Sabha elections.

With this strategic alliance, Vijay's TVK is now very close to achieving a majority. Reports indicate that Vijay is also in talks with smaller parties and independent legislators. This decision by Congress is viewed as the end of its long-standing alliance with DMK. Following discussions between Vijay and Rahul Gandhi, it is anticipated that a new government will emerge in Tamil Nadu, one that promotes the ideals of 'Kamaraj' and social justice.
