Tamil Nadu's political landscape is poised for uncertainty as the deadline for forming a government approaches. If Vijay (chief of the Tamilaga Vazhkkai Katchi, TVK) fails to secure a majority by May 10, 2026, the state could face a hung assembly crisis. With the current assembly term ending, the Governor will have limited options: either invite another party or coalition to form a government, recommend President’s Rule, or call for fresh elections. Currently, TVK holds 107-108 seats, making it the largest party, but it needs 118 seats to govern independently. The DMK, led by MK Stalin, has indicated it will not disrupt Vijay's potential government for at least six months, adding a layer of complexity to the situation. Meanwhile, the AIADMK is strategically relocating its MLAs to a resort in Puducherry to maintain party unity and is considering support for TVK under specific conditions. If Vijay cannot prove majority, possible scenarios include an alternative coalition government, a minority government, or the imposition of President’s Rule, leading to new elections within six months.
