Vijay Faces Majority Test: Will TVK’s May 7 ‘Coronation’ Stall?

Vijay Faces Majority Test: TVK chief Vijay struggles to secure majority support ahead of May 7 oath. Numbers fall short, raising uncertainty over government formation in Tamil Nadu.

Uncertainty surrounds Vijay’s proposed May 7 swearing-in as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, as Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) falls short of the majority mark. With 108 seats in a 234-member Assembly—and an expected drop to 107—TVK remains 10 seats behind. The Governor is reportedly unconvinced by current support claims, intensifying the numbers game. Political negotiations are underway, but without firm alliances, Vijay’s ‘coronation’ risks delay, exposing the fragility of his transition from cinema to power.
