Actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is poised to form the next government in Tamil Nadu after receiving crucial support from the Indian National Congress (INC) and Left parties, including the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)). Following a period of political deadlock, Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has approved the TVK's formation of the government. The TVK won 108 seats in the recent elections but will be reduced to 107 after Vijay vacates one of the two constituencies he won. The Congress, which won five seats, broke its long-standing alliance with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) to support TVK, helping it surpass the required 117 seats to form a government. However, the CPI and CPI(M) have chosen to provide only external support and will not join the government. The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), which secured two seats, has opted to support the DMK-led alliance instead.
