After a series of negotiations, Vijay (actor-turned-politician) has claimed that his party, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has secured the support of 118 MLAs, the number required for a majority in Tamil Nadu. Following a meeting with Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, Vijay's party initially struggled to reach this number but received crucial backing from several parties including the VCK, CPI, and CPI(M). This support brought the TVK's total to the necessary majority. The Tamil Nadu Assembly election resulted in a hung verdict, with the TVK winning 108 seats out of 234. The DMK secured 59 seats, while the AIADMK won 47. The governor's response to Vijay's claim will be pivotal; if accepted, Vijay could be sworn in as Chief Minister, but if the governor remains unconvinced, Vijay may need to demonstrate his majority in the Assembly.
