Vijay’s party TVK, has crossed the 100-seat mark in its very first electoral contest. According to the Election Commission trends, the party is leading on 110 seats. 117 seats are required to form a government in Tamil Nadu, and Vijay’s party is quite close to this magic figure. The special thing is that TVK has also become the party with the highest vote share in the state. This performance is considered quite significant for a new party. Stepped into politics, leaving acting behind
Thalapathy Vijay announced the formation of his party, TVK, at the beginning of 2024. He made it clear that he would now fully enter politics and bid farewell to his acting career. Vijay’s party raised the slogans of ‘change’ and ‘corruption-free governance’ in the state, which received immense public support. Dravidian parties (DMK and AIADMK) have dominated Tamil Nadu politics for decades, a dominance that Vijay has strongly challenged.
