C. Joseph Vijay, the president of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is set to take oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on May 10, 2026, at 3:15 p.m. in Nehru Stadium, Chennai. This follows his meeting with Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, where he staked his claim to form a government, concluding a period of political uncertainty in the state. Vijay's coalition includes support from 120 MLAs-elect, surpassing the majority mark of 118 in the 234-member assembly. His party, the TVK, won 108 seats and has secured backing from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), each contributing two MLAs. This marks a significant moment for Vijay as he navigates the complexities of forming a government with the support of various allied parties, including the Congress and the Left parties.
