Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay arrived at the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly in Chennai on May 11, 2026 [3], for its first session.
This arrival marks the formal beginning of government operations under the TVK party, signaling a shift in the state's political leadership after a decisive electoral outcome.
Vijay's presence at the assembly follows the recent election cycle where his party, TVK, won 108 seats [1]. The victory provided the necessary mandate to facilitate government formation and establish a new administration in the state.

As the new administration takes hold, the first session serves as the primary venue for the TVK party to outline its legislative priorities. The transition from the campaign trail to the assembly floor represents the final stage of the party's ascent to power in Tamil Nadu.
