In a stunning debut, Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) emerged as the single largest party in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, winning 59 seats out of 234 and outperforming established rivals such as the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). The victory has garnered widespread acclaim from the film industry, with notable figures like Mohanlal and Keerthy Suresh sending their heartfelt congratulations. Mohanlal praised Vijay for earning the people's trust, while Sandeep Reddy Vanga emphasized the transformative power of cinema in politics. Keerthy Suresh acknowledged the hard work and commitment that led to this success. Following the election results, Vijay visited the party headquarters in Chennai and is set to meet with party functionaries and winning candidates. Insiders believe TVK may gain support from other parties currently aligned with the DMK, including the Congress and various Communist factions, which could further strengthen their position in the assembly.
