Vijay, a prominent actor and leader of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is expected to resign from the Trichy (East) Assembly seat he won in the recent Tamil Nadu elections, while retaining his Perambur seat. The TVK achieved a remarkable victory, securing 108 seats in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, effectively breaking the 62-year dominance of the Dravidian parties, DMK and AIADMK. In Trichy (East), Vijay defeated DMK's Inigo Irudayaraj by 27,416 votes, and in Perambur, he won against RD Shekar by a massive 53,715 votes. This election marked a significant shift in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, as Vijay's campaign resonated with voters disillusioned by traditional party politics. His party now faces the challenge of post-poll negotiations to secure a majority, exploring alliances with Congress, the Left, and AIADMK. Vijay's dual victories reflect both his star power and a growing desire among Tamil voters for change.
