Thalapathy Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is on the verge of forming a government in Tamil Nadu after winning 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly. To achieve a simple majority of 118 seats, TVK requires the support of 10 additional MLAs. The Congress party, which secured 5 seats, has agreed to back Vijay's coalition, while the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) is also considering a switch from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to support TVK. Additionally, the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) are contemplating their support but await further communication from Vijay. If IUML, allied with Congress in Kerala, also backs TVK, the coalition could reach 119 seats, surpassing the majority threshold.
