The TVK currently holds 107 seats in the Assembly after Vijay resigned from the Trichy East constituency and retained Perambur. With support from the Congress, CPI, CPI(M), VCK, and IUML, along with expelled Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazagam (AMMK) MLA Kamaraj, the coalition’s effective strength rose to 121 members.
Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has directed the new government to prove its majority on or before May 13, setting the stage for intense political activity inside the Assembly.
The oath-taking ceremony drew large crowds, senior political leaders, film personalities and party supporters from across the state. Vijay, popularly known as “Thalapathy,” led TVK to a historic electoral victory that ended nearly six decades of political dominance by the DMK and AIADMK formations in Tamil Nadu.
Vijay’s party secured 108 seats in the Assembly elections. The party also received support from alliance partners, including the Congress, which won 5 seats, along with the Communist Party of India (2), Communist Party of India (Marxist) (2), Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (2), and the Indian Union Muslim League (2).
Congress MLAs, led by the party's Tamil Nadu incharge, Girish Chodankar met TVK Chief Vijay in Chennai and handed over their letter of support to him.
