Vijay, chief of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), returned to his parents' residence in Chennai following his party's victory in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections [1], [2].
The win marks a major transition for the actor-turned-politician, as the TVK has emerged as a dominant force in the state's legislative landscape. The victory establishes Vijay as a primary political figure in Tamil Nadu, shifting the balance of power away from established parties.
According to election results, the TVK won 108 seats [1]. Earlier trends indicated the party had crossed the 100-seat mark, leading some reports to describe the party as a "super king" in the region [3].
Vijay made his first public appearance after the announcement by waving to supporters from a balcony at his family home [2], [4]. While some initial reports suggested he went directly to the TVK party office, other accounts clarified that he chose to visit his parents first to celebrate with his family [2], [4].
"Vijay chose to visit his parents' home in Chennai," a reporter for MSN said [2]. The visit served as a brief stop for the party chief before he proceeded toward the party office to meet with other winning candidates, and party officials [2].
Supporters gathered in large numbers outside the residence in Chennai to greet the leader. The atmosphere remained celebratory as the TVK secured its position as the leading party in the 2026 elections [2], [4].
“The TVK won 108 seats in the Tamil Nadu 2026 assembly election.”
The TVK's acquisition of 108 seats suggests a significant disruption of the traditional two-party dominance in Tamil Nadu. By securing a majority-adjacent number of seats, Vijay has transitioned from a cinematic icon to a viable head of government, signaling a shift in voter preference toward new political alternatives in the state.
