4 min readKochiJul 28, 2026 06:35 PM IST Dealing a significant blow to his critics and those who underestimated him, actor-turned-politician Vijay emerged victorious in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, with his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) becoming the single-largest party and thus capturing rule in the state. Vijay’s victory sent shockwaves across the country, as most exit polls and political analysts had predicted that TVK’s impact would be only nominal. Although rumours about his political entry had been circulating since the late 2000s, he made a definitive entry only in early 2024 with the launch of TVK. Soon, Vijay announced that he would retire from acting after his 69th film to give his undivided attention to politics. That movie later became Jana Nayagan, which hit the screens on July 23 after being mired in a censorship controversy for over seven months.

Vijay’s oath-taking ceremony After a week of suspense since the TN election results were announced on May 4, Vijay finally took his oath as the CM on May 10. His Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party secured 108 of the 234 votes, but Vijay, who was elected in two constituencies, had to drop out of one, bringing the total to 107.
