Where did Vijay contest from? 

Vijay fought his debut election from the Tiruchirappalli East (Trichy East) and Perambur assembly seats, both of which he won. In Perambur, the Tamil superstar won by a margin of more than 53,000 votes and bagged a total of over 1.20 lakh votes. From Trichy East, he secured 91,381 votes and won by a margin of 27,416 votes. 

Tamil Nadu election results 2026

Out of the total 234 seats in the Tamil Nadu assembly, the Vijay-headlined TVK won a total of 108 seats and a vote share of 34.92%. The DMK emerged as a distant second with 59 seats and a vote share of 24.19%. The AIADMK bagged 47 seats and got a vote share of 21.21%. 

The halfway mark in the Tamil Nadu assembly stands at 118, leaving Vijay's TVK 10 seats short of a simple majority. Thus, the TVK will now need external support to form the government with Vijay as the Chief Minister.
