The 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly election produced a dramatic and historic verdict, with actor-turned-politician Vijay emerging as the biggest political force in the state through his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).

Tamil Nadu Assembly Election 2026 — Final Tally

• TVK: 108 seats
• DMK-led alliance: 59 seats
• AIADMK: 46 seats
• Others: Remaining seats

The election was conducted in a single phase on April 23, 2026, across 234 constituencies and more than 75,000 polling stations. Tamil Nadu recorded a historic voter turnout of about 85.1%, the highest ever in a state Assembly election.

Key Takeaways

• TVK became the single largest party, but remained short of the majority mark of 118 seats in the 234-member Assembly.
• The ruling M. K. Stalin-led Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) suffered a major setback.
• The reunited All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-BJP alliance improved its performance but remained behind TVK.
• Attention immediately shifted to possible alliance negotiations and government formation.

Major Leaders in the Fray

• Vijay contested from Perambur.
• M. K. Stalin led the DMK campaign.
• Edappadi K. Palaniswami was projected as the CM face of the AIADMK-BJP alliance.

Political Significance

The result marks one of the biggest disruptions in Tamil Nadu politics in decades. Since the late 1960s, the state has largely alternated between the DMK and AIADMK. TVK’s rapid rise under Vijay has effectively created a new three-cornered political landscape in the state.

The head of Georgia’s Election Commission, Giorgi Kalandarishvili, was doused in black paint while announcing the poll results in the parliament. A video broadcast on local TV channels showed David Kirtadze, a member of former president Mikheil Saakashvili’s United National Movement (UNM), splashing black paint on Kalandarishvili, which led to an eye injury, Reuters reported. The incident occurred on October 26.

In the now-viral video, Kirtadze walks up to the head of the Election Commission, throws black paint on him, and runs outside the parliament. Several members of the parliament run after him to nab him. As the video progresses, housekeeping staff can be seen wiping the chair and the table covered in black paint.

Sharing the video on Instagram, Brut America wrote, “The meeting was held to confirm the results of the country’s controversial October 26 parliamentary elections,” adding, “Before the act, Kirtadze criticized the results, claiming they did not reflect the voters’ true choice.”

The video prompted social media users to react, “Democracy is on shaky ground across the world… pretty alarming.” Another user commented, “In 2021, following the January 6th Capitol riot, violent protests targeted several members of Congress, and there were concerns about the safety of voting sessions in the aftermath.”

According to Reuters, Kalandarishvili returned to the meeting with a plaster on his left eye. Before the incident, Kirtadze, the disrupter, told Kalandarishvili that the official election results did not accurately reflect the voters’ “true choice.”

In response, Kalandarishvili argued that the presence of “pressure, intimidation, and personal insults” indicated there was no proof of vote manipulation.
