The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor-turned-politician Vijay, made history in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections by winning 108 seats out of 234. Although this was not enough for an outright majority, Vijay's coalition efforts have now secured support from the Congress party, which won 5 seats, as well as the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), the Communist Party of India (CPI), and the Communist Party of India (Marxist), each contributing additional seats. This coalition brings the total to 118 MLAs, just above the majority threshold. Vijay met with Governor RV Arlekar for the third time, confirming his support and will be sworn in as Chief Minister on May 9, 2023, at 11 A.M. This development marks a significant shift in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, ending the long-standing dominance of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
