VCK chief Thirumavalavan called a high-level meeting to decide if his party will support Vijay's TVK in forming the Tamil Nadu government.
The decision is critical because TVK lacks the necessary seats to govern alone. Without a coalition partner, the party cannot reach the majority mark required to take power in the state.
TVK won more than 100 seats in the election [1]. However, the majority required to form a government in Tamil Nadu is 118 seats [1]. This gap has left the party seeking allies to secure a stable governing coalition.
Potential alliances are already being calculated. Reports indicate that if TVK secures support from the Congress party, its potential seat total would reach 113 seats [1]. This would still leave the party short of the 118-seat threshold, making the support of other parties, like the VCK, essential.
Thirumavalavan's meeting aims to determine the VCK's position in this process. The party's decision could provide the final numbers needed for Vijay to meet with the governor and formally claim the majority.
Sources said that Vijay's TVK is set to form the government and was scheduled to meet with the governor at 6 p.m. [2]. The outcome of the VCK meeting will likely determine the strength and composition of the proposed coalition before that meeting occurs.
“TVK won more than 100 seats in the election”
The inability of TVK to hit the 118-seat mark independently transforms the election result into a negotiation phase. Because TVK remains the largest party with over 100 seats, it holds the primary leverage, but the VCK now acts as a kingmaker. The final government structure will depend on whether Thirumavalavan prioritizes a coalition with Vijay or seeks an alternative alignment with other parties.
