Tn election results

The Tamil Nadu Assembly elections took place on April 23, 2026. Results for the 234 constituencies will be declared on May 4, 2026. The main contest is between MK Stalin’s DMK and the AIADMK-led NDA alliance.

Actor C. Joseph Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has entered the electoral scene. This debut is expected to shake up the established political dynamics in Tamil Nadu.

The AIADMK needs to maintain its stronghold in the western region and expand into northern, central, and Greater Chennai areas to regain power. Key constituencies include:

• Kolathur
• Perambur
• Tiruchirappalli (East)
• Bodinayakanur
• Edappadi
• Mylapore
• Chepauk–Thiruvallikeni
• Sriperumbudur
• Sattur

C. Joseph Vijay is contesting against RD Shekar in Perambur. MK Stalin faces P Santhana Krishnan in Kolathur, while Udhayanidhi Stalin competes against Aadirajaram in Chepauk–Thiruvallikeni.

The political landscape in Tamil Nadu has shifted since the AIADMK lost ground to the DMK-led alliance in the 2021 elections. Observers are keenly watching how TVK’s entry will affect voting trends.

O Panneerselvam is running against VT Narayanasamy in Bodinayakanur, and Edappadi K Palaniswami is up against Kasi C in Edappadi. The outcome of these contests may redefine alliances and voter bases.

The declaration of results on May 4 will provide clarity on these dynamics and reveal whether new parties like TVK can disrupt traditional power structures.
