In a stunning political debut, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by popular actor Vijay, won 108 seats in the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections, falling just short of a majority in the 234-member assembly. The party garnered 34.92% of the total vote share, setting a record for the highest vote share achieved by a party in its first election since 2000. This victory is particularly notable as most exit polls had predicted TVK would secure only 0-6 seats, making the actual results a significant political surprise. The only pollster to accurately predict the outcome was Axis My India, which forecasted between 98-120 seats for TVK. This election marks a major shift in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, as TVK's success contrasts sharply with the predictions from various other polling agencies.
