The Axis My India exit poll for the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in 2026 indicates a potential political upheaval, with actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) projected to win between 98 and 120 seats in the 234-member Assembly. This significant performance could position TVK as a major player, challenging the long-standing dominance of the DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) and AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam). The ruling DMK-led alliance is estimated to secure 92 to 110 seats, suggesting a more competitive landscape than anticipated. In contrast, the AIADMK-led alliance is projected to win only 22 to 32 seats, indicating a decline in its influence. Despite the promising projection for TVK, other exit polls, such as the People’s Pulse and Matrize surveys, show the DMK maintaining an advantage with estimates ranging from 125 to 145 seats. The final outcome will be confirmed once the votes are counted, highlighting the uncertainty inherent in exit polling.
