TVK Vijay election results 2026 highlights: Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) President Vijay arrives at his father's residence as his party leads during vote counting for the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, in Chennai on Monday.

TVK Vijay election results 2026 highlights: Actor-turned-politician C Joseph Vijay -- popularly known as 'Thalapathy' -- and his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) are on their way to register an explosive victory in Tamil Nadu, with the party winning 96 seats and leading in 11 seats, as per the latest data released by the Election Commission. The party's leads had taken a sharp dive earlier in the day. However, TVK retained its position soon after and edged way past rivals Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (ADMK).

TVK chief Vijay, who contested the election from both Perambur and Trichy East, is leading in both the seats with massive margins.

The TVK's performance has been so dazzling that Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Vijay's party for its “impressive performance”. He also expressed gratitude to the people of Tamil Nadu who supported the NDA.

Vijay’s TVK party decided to go solo and contested all 234 assembly constituencies on its own. The assembly polls have been an intense three-way battle between the TVK, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Vijay’s political entry and TVK

Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar launched the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) on February 2, 2024. His party was officially registered by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on September 8, 2024.

From the very beginning, Vijay positioned TVK on modern Dravidian principles, saying that only his party has the guts to take on the "evil force" and the "corrupt force".

Track Tamil Nadu election result 2026 LIVE updates

Vijay has claimed that he would script his success story similar to that of the iconic actor and legendary AIADMK leader MG Ramachandran, by storming to power this year.

Vijay has described the DMK as an "evil force” and the BJP as an “ideological opponent.”

TVK’s solo strategy

TVK chief Vijay had earlier said that he views the assembly polls as a "democratic battle", rather than an electoral fight.

In reference to his decision to contest the Tamil Nadu elections solo, Vijay had said, “This force of TVK will win even if no friendship force (alliance) is with us.”

Despite rumours of TVK forming an alliance with the BJP, TVK had asserted that it would not join with the saffron party. Additionally, TVK general secretary Aadhav Arjuna claimed that Vijay was offered the chief minister's post, along with 50 per cent of the assembly seats, by a party to contest in the elections. However, the TVK chief declined the offer.

Niranjan Ramesh Babu, political strategist and founder of Political Analytics India (PA-I), had earlier told HT that “Vijay wants to be a lion, the main face, a future political leader.”

Tamil Nadu elections

The 234-member Tamil Nadu assembly went to polls on April 23, 2026, in a single phase, recording a voter turnout of 85.10 per cent. The seats from which Vijay is fighting this election, Chennai’s Perambur – assembly constituency Number 12 – recorded a turnout of 89.74 per cent, and Tiruchirappalli’s Trichy East – assembly constituency Number 141 – recorded 81.77 per cent voter turnout.

While Vijay’s second contesting seat is largely known as Trichy East, the Election Commission’s official website uses the constituency’s original spelling – Tiruchirapalli.

Exit poll predictions 2026

Pollsters projected an interesting electoral battle in Tamil Nadu, with the majority predicting another term for the DMK-led alliance. However, TVK's Vijay was projected to become a surprising X factor in the state, similar to MGR's victory in 1977.

Axis My India projected 98-120 seats for Vijay's TVK, while Matrize predicted merely 10-12 seats for the actor-turned-politician's party. Today's Chanakya gave TVK 63-74 seats, while Peoples Pulse projected just 18-24 seats.

Niranjan predicted that Vijay's TVK will "most probably win somewhere around over 12 per cent vote share."

Vijay wants to make his face a "strong political branding", Niranjan said. "He wants to make himself a future political leader. He is already framing a narrative that the electoral battle is between TVK and DMK. According to Vijay, it is DMK vs TVK," Niranjan stated.

"No alliance, nothing. Vijay wants to be a lion," the political strategist added.
