In Manamadurai, D Elangovan, a photographer who declared no annual income, defeated DMK incumbent A Tamilarasi. In Poonamallee, TVK’s R Prakasam, a social worker and load carrier with no annual income, defeated DMK heavyweight A Krishnaswamy. newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-n…

Ahead of polls, @SAPRAVEENA1 and @NirupamaViswa did this fantastic ground report from #Chennai resettlement colonies and analyzed booth-wise polling data to show a significant chunk of voters looking for an alternative to Dravidian majors #TamilNadu #TVK newindianexpress.com/elections/2026…

The TVK tsunami, which has swept the political landscape of the state, has impacted the AIADMK harder than the DMK in the Southern region. Out of the 58 Assembly seats in the 10 southern districts, the AIADMK could not taste victory in any one of the constituencies in six districts-- Madurai, Theni, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram, Virudhunagar, and Thoothukudi.

Following the results for the Assembly elections, Chief Minister MK Stalin has resigned from office and, in this connection, has communicated his decision to Governor Rajendra Arlekar. As a matter of established constitutional practice, the Governor is expected to request Stalin to continue as Chief Minister in a caretaker capacity until a new government is formed. @xpresstn @NewIndianXpress

#ResultsWithTNIE The 2026 #TamilNadu Assembly Election is one of the fiercely contested polls, with the victory margin being less than 2,000 votes in 27 constituencies. @xpresstn @NewIndianXpress

#Vijay gets the nod as #TamilNadu blows the whistle! The two-year-old #TVK, led by #Vijay brought down the curtains on the six-decade-old bipolar politics dominated by the Dravidian majors, the #DMK and the #AIADMK, by emerging as the single-largest party in the 2026 Assembly election. No party has ever won 108 seats in its debut Assembly election single-handed. This election, however, resulted in a hung Assembly in the state. The members of the 17th #TamilNadu Assembly being sworn in with #Vijay as chief minister will now depend not on votes already cast, but on the political calculations over the next few days. @muruga_TNIE #ResultsWithTNIE #TamilNaduAssemblyElections2026 #TNAssemblyElections #AssemblyElections Read more here: newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-n…
