Elections to appoint the 234 [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|members]] of the [[17th Tamil Nadu Assembly|17th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly]], the highest body of the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]], were held on [[2026 elections in India|23 April 2026]]. The results were declared on 4 May 2026 by the [[Election Commission of India]]. It recorded the highest voter turnout in the state's history (85.1%). The new party [[Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam]] (TVK), founded by Tamil actor [[C. Joseph Vijay]], won in its first-ever election and ended a 59-year streak of dominance of [[Dravidian parties]] in the state.

The TVK contested alone in 233 constituencies.{{efn|name=TVK}} It positioned itself as a rival to the oscillating [[Two-party system|duopoly]] of the [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK) and the [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK), and an ideological opponent of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], the ruling party of the [[Government of India]]. The incumbent DMK led the [[Secular Progressive Alliance]] (SPA), which was part of the [[Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance]] led by the [[Lok Sabha]] opposition, the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC); the SPA swept all the 39 seats in the state in the [[2024 Indian general election in Tamil Nadu|2024 Lok Sabha election]]. The opposition AIADMK was part of the BJP's [[National Democratic Alliance]] (NDA). [[Opinion poll]] agencies projected a second consecutive term for the DMK or a return to power for the AIADMK. In an [[Upset (competition)|upset result]], the TVK emerged as the single largest party above the DMK and AIADMK, amassing 108 seats but short of [[absolute majority|majority]] (118). The SPA was reduced to 73 seats, with the DMK securing 59 and the INC five. The NDA won 53 seats, with the AIADMK securing 47 and the BJP only one. This created Tamil Nadu's first [[hung assembly]]. The AIADMK lost its [[Parliamentary opposition|official opposition]] status to the DMK.

This election marked the first time a non-Dravidian party emerged as the largest party in the assembly since the 1960s, breaking a tradition of power alternating between the DMK and the AIADMK.{{Efn|The DMK rose to power in [[1971 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|1967]] and the same of the AIADMK in [[1977 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|1977]]; Tamil Nadu has been governed by these two parties ever since, until 2026.}} The outgoing [[Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu]], [[M. K. Stalin]] of the DMK, lost his election from the [[Kolathur Assembly constituency|Kolathur]] constituency where he had previously won thrice consecutively.{{Efn|Stalin became the second incumbent Chief Minister of the state to lose their assemby membership after the AIADMK's [[J. Jayalalithaa]] lost in [[Bargur Assembly constituency|Bargur]] in [[1996 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|1996]].}} The TVK's chief-ministerial candidate Vijay won both the [[Perambur Assembly constituency|Perambur]] and [[Tiruchirappalli East Assembly constituency|Tiruchirappalli East]] constituencies he contested.{{Efn|Vijay became the first Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu since [[J. Jayalalithaa]] in 1991 to win from two constituencies, later vacating one of them. }} The AIADMK's former Chief Minister, [[Edappadi K. Palaniswami]], retained [[Edappadi Assembly constituency|Edappadi]] with the widest winning margin in the state.{{Efn|98,110 votes above the runner-up.}} On 5 May 2026, Stalin resigned as Chief Minister. The next few days, Vijay met the [[Governor of Tamil Nadu]], [[Rajendra Arlekar]], multiple times to stake claim to the formation of the new government, resulting in tensions and uncertainty. Vijay pursued a majority by inviting SPA parties other than DMK to render their support; INC left the SPA and joined the TVK government, while four other SPA parties extended their support to a TVK-led [[coalition government]] without leaving the alliance.{{Efn|The INC abruptly left the SPA after the results, retiring DMK from the INDIA [[bloc]] and adding TVK instead, which was met with criticism from the DMK. After days of consideration, the [[Communist Party of India]] (CPI), the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] (CPI-M), [[Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi]] (VCK) and the [[Indian Union Muslim League]] (IUML) agreed to support TVK for a stable, NDA-free government, while continuing their SPA membership.}} Upon confirming a majority to Arlekar, Vijay was sworn in as Chief Minister on 10 May 2026. His government passed the [[Motion of no confidence in India|floor test]] on 13 May.

[[Political criticism|Political critics]] and journalists stated that the [[anti-incumbency]] against the DMK government, Vijay's mobilization of his [[Fan club|fanclubs]] into an unified party, TVK's well-funded and highly organized [[Internet activism|digital campaign]] portraying itself as a fresh, [[corruption]]-free alternative as opposed to the perceived fatigue over the Dravidian tenures as major factors that fueled Vijay's success, drawing comparisons with former actor-turned-Chief Ministers [[M. G. Ramachandran]] and [[J. Jayalalithaa]]. Analysts reported that TVK hauled the [[votebank]]s of both the DMK and AIADMK, pulling their youth, women, urban, and first-time voters irrespective of [[Caste system in India|caste]] or religious affiliations, and attributed Vijay's appeal more to a promise of change rather than a meticulous ideology, highlighting the party's extensive and instrumental use of [[social media]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2026-05-04 |title=Tamil Nadu election results shocker: 5 factors that powered TVK Vijay's political blockbuster |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/tamil-nadu-election-results-shocker-5-factors-that-powered-tvk-vijays-political-blockbuster/articleshow/130789543.cms |access-date=2026-05-06 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Nagarajan |first=Banuchandar |date=4 May 2026 |title=16 factors that propelled Vijay to power in Tamil Nadu |url=https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/opinion/16-factors-that-propelled-vijay-to-power-in-tamil-nadu-13907923.html |access-date=7 May 2026 |website=Moneycontrol.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-05-05 |title=Vijay, Tamil Nadu election results 2026: How a film star won in the Indian state |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8xwjx54zggo |access-date=2026-05-06 |website=www.bbc.com |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-05-10 |title=Who is Vijay, the actor taking Indian politics by storm? |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/india/vijay-tamil-nadu-election-cm-oath-ceremony-b2973739.html |access-date=2026-05-10 |website=[[The Independent]] |language=en}}</ref>

Within the first month since the results, five assembly seats became vacant as Vijay resigned one of his two seats,{{Efn|Following his inaugration as Chief Minister, Vijay vacated the Tiruchirapalli East seat and retained the Perambur seat, as per Section 70 of the [[Representation of the People Act, 1951]], which forbids any [[Member of Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] or [[Member of Parliament (India)|MP]] from representing two constituencies for more than 14 days and stipulates that they must resign one of the two seats within the said time.}} and four AIADMK MLAs resigned their seats to join TVK.{{Efn|The four AIADMK MLAs had represented [[Madurantakam Assembly constituency|Madurantakam]], [[Perundurai Assembly constituency|Perundurai]], [[Dharapuram Assembly constituency|Dharapuram]], and [[Ambasamudram Assembly constituency|Ambasamudram]].}} The [[By-election|by-elections]] in these five constituencies are [[2026-2031 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly By-Polls|to be announced]].

=== Analysis ===
[[Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam]] (TVK), a two-year-old party led by actor-turned-politician [[C. Joseph Vijay]], won 108 of the 234 seats in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election. Analysts and media commentators noted that the party’s campaign relied heavily on digital outreach and social media platforms such as [[YouTube]], [[Instagram]], [[Facebook]] and [[WhatsApp]]. [[BBC]], described the campaign as reflecting a major shift towards [[Digital first|digital-first]] political mobilisation in India.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=2026-05-10 |title=Vijay, TVK: How social media turned Indian film star into a political force in Tamil Nadu |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4pn1z8x45o |access-date=2026-05-11 |website=www.bbc.com |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite web |date=May 7, 2026 |title=How Vijay Was Already Winning On Instagram Before Tamil Nadu Victory |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/how-vijay-was-already-winning-on-instagram-before-tamil-nadu-victory-11462582 |website=NDTV}}</ref>

Election campaigns in India have traditionally relied on public rallies, speeches, [[Banner|banners]], door-to-door canvassing and extensive [[Mass media|media]] outreach. In Tamil Nadu, [[Dravidian parties]] such as the [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|DMK]] and the [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|AIADMK]] have dominated state politics for decades, with politics centred around [[social justice]] and welfare policies. During this period, Tamil Nadu also recorded strong economic and social indicators, including 11.2% economic growth in 2024–25 and continued manufacturing expansion. Political observers stated that the prolonged dominance of the major Dravidian parties contributed to growing interest in political alternatives, particularly among [[Young voters|younger voters]] and [[Generation Z|Gen Z]] voters who were less connected to traditional political narratives and more receptive to calls for political change.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":4">{{Cite web |date=2026-05-05 |title=Vijay, Tamil Nadu election results 2026: How a film star won in the Indian state |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8xwjx54zggo |access-date=2026-05-11 |website=www.bbc.com |language=en-GB}}</ref>

Although Vijay remained one of the most recognisable public figures in the state, he reportedly campaigned in person for less than three weeks during the election. Some campaign events were cancelled, which the party attributed to logistical constraints and time limitations. Instead of extensive physical campaigning, TVK placed significant emphasis on [[digital communication]] and online mobilisation. Vijay did not give media [[Interview|interviews]] or hold [[Press conference|press conferences]] during the campaign, and his speeches were generally shorter than those of other political leaders. Much of the TVK’s outreach was conducted through social media platforms. TVK supporters and volunteers, including members of an extensive network of fan clubs, circulated campaign material, speech clips, [[Instagram Reels]], [[YouTube Shorts]] and WhatsApp messages online. TVK’s information technology wing also played a role in producing campaign content and criticism from rival parties.<ref name=":2" />

[[NDTV]] highlighted Vijay’s social media strategy, noting that he used platforms such as Instagram selectively, mainly for updates related to films, public appearances and social messaging related to elections. His online engagement was particularly strong among younger voters and women, as well as among audiences in [[Chennai]] and sections of the Tamil diaspora abroad including [[Istanbul]].<ref name=":3" /> TVK received notable support from younger voters, including first-time voters. Voters between the ages of 18 and 39, who constitute a significant share of Tamil Nadu’s electorate, were considered an important support base for the party's winning of 108 seats.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":2" />

The Incumbent DMK was also perceived as overconfident due to favourable internal assessments, which may have delayed timely course correction. Despite appearing arithmetically strong on paper, poor coordination among its allies, inconsistent campaign messaging, and ineffective vote transfer in several constituencies limited the alliance's electoral performance, while persistent corruption allegations, despite the absence of any major scandals, and negative public perceptions further weakened the campaign and collectively contributed to this outcome.<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/videos/dmks-fall-in-2026-anti-incumbency-or-something-bigger-let-me-explain-134|title=DMK’s fall in 2026: Anti-incumbency or something bigger?|website=thenewsminute|date=2026-05-06}}</ref> From the outset of counting, TVK led across [[Chennai district]] and ultimately won 20 of the city's 22 constituencies, with the exception of the [[Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni Assembly constituency|Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni]] and [[Harbour Assembly constituency|Harbour]] constituencies,{{Efn|One of the 2 seats that Dmk won even in [[1991 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|1991 wave election]].<ref>{{citation|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/assembly-elections-2011/tamil-nadu/worst-ever-show-by-dmk-in-citadel-chennai/articleshow/8309492.cms|title=Worst-ever show by DMK in citadel Chennai|website=timesofindia|date=2011-05-14}}</ref>}} which were retained by the DMK, marking a major breakthrough in a region long considered a DMK stronghold and a historic base of the erstwhile [[Justice Party (India)|Justice Party]], the political precursor to the century-old Dravidian movement.<ref name="TNresultsDH" /><ref name="TNresultsoutlook"/><ref>{{citation|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/justice-party-100-years-of-dravidian-movement/articleshow/49863466.cms|title=Justice Party: 100 years of Dravidian movement|website=timesofindia|date=2026-05-05}}</ref> The DMK suffered a complete rout in the neighbouring districts of [[Kancheepuram district|Kancheepuram]], [[Thiruvallur district|Thiruvallur]], [[Chengalpattu district|Chengalpattu]] and [[Vellore district|Vellore]].<ref name="TNresultsDH">{{citation|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/elections/tamil-nadu/tamil-nadu-assembly-elections-2026-vijay-demolishes-dmks-chennai-citadel-in-first-polls-3992105|title=Vijay demolishes DMK's Chennai citadel in electoral debut|website=Deccan Herald|date=2026-05-05}}</ref> TVK swept Northern Tamil Nadu and made major inroads into [[Kongu Nadu|Western Kongu region]] and [[Pandya Nadu|Southern Tamil Nadu]], regions long considered AIADMK strongholds, emerging as the principal party in these areas.<ref name="auto">{{citation|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Coimbatore/vijays-party-breaks-aiadmks-hold-over-western-tn/article70939336.ece|title=Vijay's party breaks AIADMK's hold over western T.N.|website=the hindu|date=2026-05-05}}</ref> TVK won 24 of the 46 [[Reservation in India|reserved]] assembly constituencies for the [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|scheduled communities]] in the state, recording major victories across western and northern Tamil Nadu, by making significant inroads into the Dalit vote base of the Dravidian parties and [[Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi|VCK]], and became the first debutant party to secure more than half of the reserved seats, while AIADMK and DMK won nine each.<ref>{{citation|url=https://tamil.oneindia.com/news/chennai/vijay-out-of-46-reserved-seats-in-tamil-nadu-tvk-won-24-seats-in-the-tamil-nadu-election-2026-796645.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260509101014/https://tamil.oneindia.com/news/chennai/vijay-out-of-46-reserved-seats-in-tamil-nadu-tvk-won-24-seats-in-the-tamil-nadu-election-2026-796645.html|title=46 தனித் தொகுதிகளில் 24ல் தவெக ஆதிக்கம்.. சரிந்த திமுக, அதிமுகவின் கோட்டை.. விசிகவுக்கும் சேதாரம்!|website=[[Oneindia]] tamil|date=2026-05-05|archive-date=2026-05-09|language=ta}}</ref><ref>{{citation|url=https://tamil.samayam.com/latest-news/state-news/how-tvk-vijay-won-24-reserved-constituencies-22-lost-in-2026-election-results/articleshow/130827230.cms|title=தவெக தன்வசப்படுத்திய 24 தனி தொகுதிகள்.. விஜய் சாதித்தது எப்படி? தவறவிட்ட அந்த 22 தொகுதிகள்!|website=timesofindia Samayam tamil|date=2026-05-05|language=ta}}</ref> Within the AIADMK-led alliance, weak vote transfer, the BJP's diminished independent momentum which it had gained in the state during the [[2024 Indian general election in Tamil Nadu|2024 Lok Sabha election]], was seen to have been lost following its renewed alignment with the AIADMK in April 2025, and the sidelining of former state unit president [[K.

== Government formation ==

Vijay indicated that he planned to take the oath of the Chief Minister's office on 7 May 2026 at the [[Nehru Stadium, Chennai]]. On 6 May 2026, Vijay met the [[Governor of Tamil Nadu]], [[Rajendra Arlekar|Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar]], and staked a claim to the formation of the new government. However, Arlekar asked Vijay to produce letters of support from 118 MLAs, which he thought Vijay did not have, according to media reports. Subsequently, the convoy and security protection provided to Vijay as the Chief Minister-designate were withdrawn.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/southern-states/tamil-nadu/tamil-nadu-live-updates-vijay-meets-governor-again-amid-govt-formation-push-1955174|title=TN Live: Governor Sends Back Vijay, Asks to Prove Majority|date=7 May 2026|website=www.deccanchronicle.com}}</ref>

=== Path to coalition ===

After the declaration of results, the TVK had emerged as the single largest party (108 seats) in the assembly but could not get the majority (118 seats), leading to a requirement of a minimum 10 additional seats.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.indiatvnews.com/amp/tamil-nadu/news-tamil-nadu-government-formation-2026-live-updates-vijay-tvk-cm-alliance-announcement-cabinet-ministers-mlas-oath-taking-ceremony-tamil-nadu-winners-1039957|title=TVK set to form government in Tamil Nadu|website=India TV|date=2026-05-05}}</ref> This led to a series of political maneuvering and ambiguity in Tamil Nadu's politics in the following days.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2026-05-08 |title=Tamil Nadu government formation: CPI, CPI(M) extend unconditional support to TVK; VCK may follow suit |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/tamil-nadu-government-formation-cpi-cpim-extend-unconditional-support-to-tvk-vck-may-follow-suit/article70954927.ece |access-date=2026-05-08 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> American publication ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' described it as "a frantic few days of [[Horse trading|horse-trading]]".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ramachandran |first=Naman |date=2026-05-10 |title=Indian Film Star Vijay Sworn In as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister After Days of High Drama |url=https://variety.com/2026/politics/news/vijay-sworn-in-tamil-nadu-chief-minister-1236742532/ |access-date=2026-05-10 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref>

The TVK, which had cited the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister [[K. Kamaraj|Kamarajar]] of the INC as one of the party's ideological icons, invited the INC MLAs to form a coalition government, which the INC accepted after leaving the DMK-led [[Secular Progressive Alliance]], leading to the formation of the [[TVK-led Alliance|TVK-led alliance]]. The INC state unit [[Tamil Nadu Congress Committee]] (TNCC) forwaded Vijay's invitation to their Delhi-headquartered presidium [[All India Congress Committee]] (AICC), who sent back the decision to the state unit. The state unit decided to break ties with the DMK and support TVK conditional upon TVK never maintaining ties with the BJP.<ref>{{Cite web |title="Whatever decision TNCC takes on TVK, it must be approved by AICC": Tamil Nadu Congress incharge |url=https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/whatever-decision-tncc-takes-on-tvk-it-must-be-approved-by-aicc-tamil-nadu-congress-incharge20260505224240/ |access-date=2026-05-07 |website=ANI News |language=en}}</ref> Following news that Arlekar is delaying inviting the TVK to form the government, INC's [[Karur Lok Sabha constituency|Karur]] MP Jothimani stated that the BJP-appointed Governor "should stop playing politics via the [[Raj Bhavan]]".<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |date=2026-05-07 |title=Tamil Nadu government formation: Number game, governor's pushback and resort politics — Vijay's crucial political test |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/dmk-aiadmk-alliance-on-cards-tvks-vijay-scrambles-for-numbers-tamil-nadu-cm-suspense-intensifies/articleshow/130881393.cms |access-date=2026-05-07 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

From 7 May 2026 onwards, allegations of a possible alliance between the DMK and the AIADMK, which could easily achieve a majority in the assembly, circulated in mainstream media. The DMK quickly denied the news, claiming they rejected such an offer from the AIADMK, respecting the people's mandate, and that the DMK had decided to serve as opposition, not interfering in the TVK's government formation process.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2026-05-07 |title=Tamil Nadu government formation: DMK rejects overtures from AIADMK, sources say |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/tamil-nadu-assembly/dmk-rejects-aiadmks-overtures-sources-say/article70948466.ece |access-date=2026-05-07 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

Other sources claimed that TVK is holding negotiations with the ADMK over a possible power-sharing arrangement, amidst reports that around 28 of the 47 AIADMK MLAs have been moved to a [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] resort, and that a faction within the AIADMK MLAs are willing to support TVK. AIADMK general secretary Palanisami is said to oppose a coalition with the TVK.<ref name=":0" /> It was also reported that the five INC MLAs have been moved to [[Hyderabad]], the capital city of the INC-ruled state [[Telangana]], and that they will return to Chennai once Arlekar invites Vijay to form government.<ref name=":1" />

On 8 May 2026, the [[Left-wing politics|leftist]] parties of Tamil Nadu, consisting of CPI and CPI(M), agreed to provide their MLAs' unconditional support to the TVK, stressing on the necessity to form a government by the deadline of 10 May to prevent a [[President's rule]] which they dubbed a proxy-BJP regime. The leftist parties affirmed that they would only support "from the outside" but not participate in the government, continuing in their SPA alliance led by the DMK. Following this, Vijay once again met Arlekar, for the third time, insisting on being invited to form the state government.<ref name=":1" /> Vijay also submitted a letter of support from the lone MLA of [[Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam|AMMK]] to the Governor on his third visit, extending support to TVK to form the government. Subsequently, [[T. T. V. Dhinakaran]] alleged that the TVK had submitted a photocopy of a forged letter and claimed that it was an attempt at [[Horse trading|horse-trading]] involving the party's lone MLA. He later submitted a letter to the Governor disputing the earlier claim. TVK denied the allegation and released a video stating that the AMMK MLA had extended support to the party for government formation.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Singh |first=Shivam Pratap |date=2026-05-09 |title=‘Forgery’, ‘misinformation’: TVK vs AMMK over letter of support to Vijay amid Tamil Nadu government suspense |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/forgery-misinformation-tvk-vs-ammk-over-letter-of-support-to-vijay-amid-tamil-nadu-government-suspense-101778295015311.html |access-date=2026-05-09 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}</ref>

On 9 May 2026, the [[Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi|VCK]] and [[Indian Union Muslim League|IUML]] extended unconditional support to TVK to form the government, while continuing their alliance with the DMK-led SPA. Both parties hold two MLAs each in the Assembly. With the support of the INC, along with outside support from SPA allies such as the CPI(M), CPI, VCK and IUML, TVK secured the backing of 120 MLAs, excluding one vacant seat as Vijay had contested and won from two constituencies.<ref>{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2026-05-09 |title=VCK, IUML extend unconditional support to Vijay’s TVK; alliance with DMK intact, says Thirumavalavan |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/tamil-nadu-government-formation-vck-iuml-extend-unconditional-support-to-vijays-tvk/article70958929.ece |access-date=2026-05-10 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Subsequently, Vijay met the Governor along with alliance party leaders and staked claim to form the government.

On 13 May 2026, the third day of the inaugural sessions of the [[17th Tamil Nadu Assembly|17th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly]], the government was put through a [[vote of confidence]] as stipulated by the landmark [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] ruling of ''[[S. R. Bommai v. Union of India|S.R. Bommai v. Union of India]]'' (1994). Vijay's TVK government passed the vote comfortably with 144 ayes against 22 noes:<ref>{{Cite news |date=2026-05-13 |title=Tamil Nadu Assembly session LIVE: Chief Minister Vijay's TVK wins trust vote with 144 ‘ayes’ |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/tamil-nadu-assembly-floor-test-vote-tvk-alliance-aiadmk-chief-minister-vijay-live-updates-may-13-2026/article70972403.ece |access-date=2026-05-13 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

* The DMK's 59 MLAs and the only DMDK MLA staged a walk-out. The [[List of speakers of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly|Speaker]] J. C. D. Prabhakar (from TVK) does not get to vote, besides Vijay's vacated Tiruchirapalli East seat, and the [[Member of Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]], from Tirupattur, was barred from voting due to a [[Madras High Court]] order, relating to the counting of votes. The TVK loses three votes, reducing their party strength to 105.

* MLAs who voted in favor of the government are from TVK (105) and its post-poll allies (13), and 25 MLAs from the AIADMK led by [[Thondamuthur Assembly constituency|Thondamuthur]] MLA [[S. P. Velumani]] who support Vijay rebelling against Palanisami, as well as the AMMK MLA expelled by the party for his outspoken support to Vijay. This confirmed the news reports and exposed the yet another factional split within the AIADMK.
* Those who voted against the government are the remainder of the AIADMK MLAs (22).
* 5 MLAs of the PMK (4) and BJP (1) abstained.

Around two dozen foreign nationals were arrested for allegedly casting [[Electoral fraud|fraudulent votes]] in the Tamil Nadu Assembly election. They were accused of using fake [[Voter ID (India)|Indian identity documents]] to cast votes, following which the Election Commission ordered a probe into the suspected electoral fraud.<ref>{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2026-05-15 |title=ECI orders probe into voting by foreign nationals in the Tamil Nadu Assembly election |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/tamil-nadu-assembly/eci-orders-probe-into-voting-by-foreign-nationals-in-the-tamil-nadu-assembly-election/article70983594.ece |access-date=2026-05-17 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2026-05-14 |title=About 25 foreign nationals arrested for fraudulent voting in Tamil Nadu Assembly poll |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/about-25-foreign-nationals-arrested-for-fraudulent-voting-intamil-nadu-assembly-poll/article70978655.ece |access-date=2026-05-17 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

Earlier, media reports had stated that many people were returning to Tamil Nadu from abroad to cast their votes, as the election had gained significant attention following the political entry of actor-turned-politician Vijay.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tamil Nadu assembly elections 2026 {{!}} Video of plane full of voters heading home to vote goes viral |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/tamil-nadu-assembly-elections-2026-video-of-plane-full-of-voters-heading-home-to-vote-goes-viral-3976494 |access-date=2026-05-17 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-04-24 |title=‘Full flight coming home to vote’: IndiGo pilot’s message goes viral as NRIs return home for Tamil Nadu elections |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/trending/trending-in-india/indigo-pilot-voting-message-singapore-trichy-flight-viral-video-tamil-nadu-elections-2026-10653281/ |access-date=2026-05-17 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last= |last2= |last3= |last4= |last5=Us |first5=GNFollow |title=Democracy Takes Flight: Viral Video Shows Voters Flying Home For Tamil Nadu Assembly Polls |url=https://newsable.asianetnews.com/india/viral-video-shows-voters-fly-home-in-huge-numbers-for-tamil-nadu-assembly-elections-2026-articleshow-1tkx777 |access-date=2026-05-17 |website=Asianet Newsable |language=en}}</ref>

=== Further strife in the AIADMK ===
On 25 May 2026, three AIADMK MLAs who were part of the Velumani faction, namely [[K. Maragatham]] ([[Madurantakam Assembly constituency|Madurantakam]]), [[S. Jayakumar (Indian politician)|S. Jayakumar]], ([[Perundurai Assembly constituency|Perundurai]]), and [[P. Sathyabama]] ([[Dharapuram Assembly constituency|Dharapuram]]), resigned their seats and joined the TVK. With this, the AIADMK's strength in the assembly dropped to 44. Palanisami and [[T. T. V. Dhinakaran]] accused the TVK government of blatant horse-trading.<ref>{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2026-05-25 |title=Three AIADMK MLAs resign from posts in Tamil Nadu, join TVK |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/three-aiadmk-mlas-resign-from-posts-in-tamil-nadu-join-tvk/article71020837.ece |access-date=2026-05-27 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

On 26 May, [[Ambasamudram Assembly constituency|Ambasamudram]]'s AIADMK MLA and former minister [[E. Subaya|E. Subbaiah]] also resigned his seat in a similar vein, bringing down the party's strength to 43. All of these four constituencies are expected to undergo by-polls eventually.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2026-05-26 |title=Tamil Nadu Speaker accepts Esakki Subbaiah’s resignation after initial rejection |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/aiadmk-cracks-widen-as-another-mla-resigns-after-three-legislators-exit/articleshow/131323952.cms |access-date=2026-05-27 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

On May 27, the rival factions of the AIADMK reconciled, with Velumani acknowledging Palanisami's leadership of the party. Both the factions withdrew the disqualification petitions they had submitted to the Speaker earlier.<ref>{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2026-05-27 |title=AIADMK rival factions reconcile two weeks after Legislature Party split |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/aiadmk-rival-factions-reconcile-two-weeks-after-legislature-party-split/article71028923.ece |access-date=2026-05-27 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Velumani denied the claims that his faction was supporting the TVK in hope of ministerial positions within the government.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-05-22 |title=Our faction's support to TVK was not for cabinet berths, says SP Velumani |url=https://www.dtnext.in/news/tamilnadu/our-factions-support-to-tvk-was-not-for-cabinet-berths-says-sp-velumani |access-date=2026-05-27 |website=DT Next |language=en}}</ref> ''[[The Economic Times]]'' opined that the resignations are part of TVK's attempts to gain an absolute majority in the assembly.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Congress seeks Rajya Sabha seat from ally Vijay's TVK - The Economic Times |url=https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/congress-seeks-rajya-sabha-seat-from-ally-vijays-tvk/amp_articleshow/131376538.cms |access-date=2026-05-28 |website=m.economictimes.com}}</ref>

=== Miscellaneous ===
Within a month of assuming power in the state, the TVK government was criticized and scrutinized for various issues:

* The ''[[Tamil Thai Valthu (Tamil Nadu)|Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu]]'', the state anthem of Tamil Nadu, was played at the end rather than the beginning during the ministerial oath ceremonies sparking widespread backlash from TVK's allies and opposition groups.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2026-05-23 |title=Anthem row escalates in Tamil Nadu as 'Tamil Thai Valthu' relegated behind Vande Mataram for third time |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/anthem-row-escalates-in-tamil-nadu-as-tamil-thai-valthu-relegated-behind-vande-mataram-for-third-time/articleshow/131266710.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2026-05-27 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}}</ref>
* On 12 May 2026, the Tamil Nadu government appointed [[Astrology|astrologer]] and TVK spokesperson as [[Officer on Special Duty|Officer-on-Special Duty]] (Political) to Chief Minister Vijay. The appointment drew criticism from several political parties and alliance partners.

Legislative Assembly elections were held in [[West Bengal]] to elect all [[List of constituencies of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly|294 members]] of the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly]] in two phases on [[2026 elections in India|23 and 29 April 2026]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/west-bengal-election-result-2026-falta-votes-will-be-counted-only-on-293-seats-tomorrow-heres-why-11441389|title=Votes Are Being Counted Only On 293 Seats In Bengal Today. Here's Why|publisher=NDTV|date=4 May 2026}}</ref> with the votes counted and results for 293 seats released on 4 May 2026. The election saw the defeat of the incumbent [[Trinamool Congress|All India Trinamool Congress]] (AITC or TMC), led by [[Mamata Banerjee]]. The [[Bharatiya Janata Party – West Bengal|Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) won the election in a [[landslide victory|landslide]] and became the first [[Right-wing politics|right-wing]] party to be elected to rule in the state.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/top-headlines/bjp-scripts-history-becomes-first-right-wing-party-to-storm-to-power-in-wb/|title=BJP scripts history, becomes first rightwing party to storm to power in West Bengal|publisher=The Tribune|date=5 May 2026|access-date=25 May 2026}}</ref>

Over 9 million voters were removed through the [[Special Intensive Revision]] (SIR) prior to the elections. This move has been criticized as erosion of democracy in India.<ref name="r877">{{cite web | last1=Ellis-Petersen | first1=Hannah | last2=Hassan | first2=Aakash | title=Millions in India stripped of vote before critical state election, as government seeks to 'purify' electoral roll | website=The Guardian | date=2026-04-22 | url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/22/india-west-bengal-state-elections-millions-stripped-of-vote | access-date=2026-05-09}}</ref> The election recorded a historic voter turnout of about 94%, surpassing even the [[2011 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|2011 election]], highest ever for a [[Elections in India|General election for the Parliament or State Legislative Assembly in India]].
In these elections, the [[Indian National Congress]] and the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] returned to the assembly after having no seats since the last election. The [[All India Secular Front]] also retained its lone constituency, while the newly formed [[Aam Janata Unnayan Party]] of Humayun Kabir gained two seats.

The Election Commission deployed over 350,000 security personnel in this state election, and conducted a largely violence-free election in a state with a history of political violence. There were 85,379 polling booths and about 4.5 lakh polling officers involved in the election. New booths were set up in urban areas in high rises and housing complexes due to allegations of voter intimidation in the previous election.

Many political analysts reported anti-incumbency against the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress, widely known as AITC. Several politicians, including [[West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee|WBPCC]] president Subhankar Sarkar, blamed AITC misrule, filled with corruption, political violence, and especially cases of violence against women, such as the [[2024 Kolkata rape and murder]] at R. G. Medical college, as the main reasons for the defeat of AITC.

A full repoll was ordered in [[Falta Assembly constituency|Falta]], after complaints of EVM tampering in favour of Trinamool Congress, with polling on 21st May, and results on 24th May.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ইভিএমে বিজেপির প্রতীকের ওপর টেপ! ফলতায় মারাত্মক জালিয়াতির অভিযোগ, কমিশনের দ্বারস্থ পদ্মশিবির |url=https://bengali.indianexpress.com/west-bengal/falta-evm-tampering-allegation-debangshu-panda-diamond-harbour-model-11777384 |access-date=2026-05-01 |website=bengali.indianexpress.com |language=bn}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=9 June 2024 |title=ডায়মন্ড হারবারের কিছু বুথে বিরোধীদের ভোট নামমাত্র! |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/elections/lok-sabha-election-2024/bjp-moves-to-election-commission-demanding-re-poll-in-various-booths-of-diamond-harbour-and-mathurapur-lok-sabha-dgtl/cid/1521153 |work=[[Anandabazar Patrika]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2 May 2026 |editor-last=Tiwari |editor-first=Vaibhav |title="Subversion Of Democratic Process": Bengal's Falta To See Repolling On May 21 |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/poll-body-announces-repolling-in-all-285-polling-stations-in-west-bengals-falta-cites-subversion-of-democratic-process-11440564 |work=[[NDTV]]}}</ref> The BJP won a landslide victory in Falta repoll elections with a margin exceeding 1 Lakh, the highest in the state.<ref>{{Cite web |date=24 May 2026 |title=Results |url=https://results.eci.gov.in/ResultAcGenMay2026/candidateswise-S25144.htm |website=[[Election Commission of India]]}}</ref>

=== SIR and electoral rolls ===
The [[Special Intensive Revision]] (SIR) of electoral rolls became one of the central controversies of the campaign. The SIR removed around 9 million voter entries from the rolls in West Bengal, representing about 12% of the electorate. Over six million were categorized as absentee or deceased, while the status of 2.7 million remained pending before tribunals. [[Dalit]] Hindus, especially from the [[Matua Mahasangha|Matua]] community, were affected in certain districts.<ref>{{Cite web |date= 26 April 2026|title= West Bengal elections:PM Modi pledges citizenship for Matua Namasudras under CAA |url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/west-Bengal-elections-pm-modi-pledges-citizenship-for-matua-namasudras-under-caa/articleshow/130529950.cms|website= The Times of India}}</ref> The move was criticised as "bloodless political genocide" and erosion of democracy in India.<ref name="r877"/><ref name="g244">{{cite web | last=Sobhan | first=Zafar | title=View from Bangladesh: The hardening of Hindutva in West Bengal will stifle pro-India voices | website=Scroll.in | date=2026-05-08 | url=https://scroll.in/article/1092689/view-from-bangladesh-the-hardening-of-hindutva-in-west-bengal-will-stifle-pro-india-voices | access-date=2026-05-10}}</ref><ref name="z523">{{cite web | last=Rehbar | first=Quratulain | title=India drops 9m voters, or 10% of total, weeks before West Bengal poll | website=Nikkei Asia | date=2026-04-28 | url=https://asia.nikkei.com/politics/india-drops-9m-voters-or-10-of-total-weeks-before-west-bengal-poll | access-date=2026-05-10}}</ref>

=== Citizenship Amendment Act ===

The [[Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019|Citizenship Amendment Act]] (CAA) remained a separate campaign issue, particularly in areas where refugee and Matua politics were significant. The Union government published details of the act's implementation in the [[Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019#Citizenship (Amendment) Act Rules, 2024|Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024]], in March 2024, and BJP leaders said that a BJP government in West Bengal would speed up citizenship processing under the Act.<ref name="CAAOfficial">{{cite web |date=11 March 2024 |title=The Gazette of India: Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024 |url=https://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/UserGuide/E_gazette_11032024.pdf |work=The Gazette of India |publisher=Government of India}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=3 March 2026 |title=Post-SIR, Centre forms two more panels to fast-track CAA applications in West Bengal |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/west-bengal/post-sir-centre-forms-two-more-panels-to-fast-track-caa-applications-in-west-bengal/article70696163.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Singh|first=Vijaita}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=12 April 2026 |title=PM Modi vows to fast-track CAA implementation in West Bengal if BJP comes to power |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/pm-modi-vows-to-fast-track-caa-implementation-in-west-bengal-if-bjp-comes-to-power-101775955590381.html |work=Hindustan Times}}</ref> The AITC argued that the issue was being used to polarise the electorate and that the overlap between CAA, SIR and citizenship rhetoric had increased anxiety among minorities and some migrant communities.<ref>{{cite news |title=In battleground Bengal, how TMC bets on SIR deletions, voter backlash to corner BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/in-battleground-bengal-how-tmc-bets-on-sir-deletions-voter-backlash-to-corner-bjp-10637925/ |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=25 March 2026 |title=Polarisation still an issue in 2026 Bengal polls, but TMC slightly better placed than BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/bengal-assembly-2026-tmc-bjp-polarisation-minority-vote-share-data-analysis-10600577/ |work=The Indian Express}}</ref>

=== Border security and migration ===
Border security and undocumented migration were also major issues in the campaign. BJP leaders framed cross-border movement, border fencing and the [[Siliguri Corridor]] as matters of national security and linked them to their wider argument on infiltration.<ref>{{cite news |date=29 March 2026 |title='Bengal last remaining route for infiltration': Amit Shah says Assembly polls crucial for national security |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/bengal-last-remaining-route-for-infiltration-amit-shah-says-assembly-polls-crucial-for-national-security-10607005/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=18 January 2026 |title=Infiltration changing West Bengal's demography: PM |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/west-bengal/infiltration-changing-west-bengals-demography-pm/article70519322.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Singh|first=Shiv Sahay}}</ref> The AITC rejected these claims as politically motivated and linked them to communal polarisation.<ref name="FederalIssues" /><ref>{{cite news |date=28 March 2026 |title=Amit Shah releases 'charge sheet' against TMC government, says Bengal polls key to nation's security |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/elections/2026/Mar/28/amit-shah-releases-charge-sheet-against-tmc-government-says-bengal-polls-key-to-nations-security |work=The New Indian Express|last=Maiti|first=Subhendu}}</ref>

=== Identity politics ===
Identity politics remained significant in the campaign. Bengali ''asmita'' (identity), the Matua vote, and questions of language, belonging and representation were prominent themes in several regions of the state.<ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref name="FederalIssues" /> The AITC sought to present itself as the defender of Bengali identity and state autonomy, while the BJP tied identity questions to citizenship, migration and Hindu consolidation in selected constituencies.<ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref>{{cite news |date=25 March 2026 |title=Polarisation still an issue in 2026 Bengal polls, but TMC slightly better placed than BJP |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/bengal-assembly-2026-tmc-bjp-polarisation-minority-vote-share-data-analysis-10600577/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Tiwary|first=Deeptiman}}</ref>

=== Corruption ===
Corruption and governance remained important opposition themes, especially because of the [[2022 West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam|school recruitment scam]] and other ongoing investigations by central agencies. These allegations formed a major opposition line of attack on the AITC government's record in administration, public recruitment and institutional credibility.<ref>{{cite web |date=15 April 2022 |title=Explained: What is the West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam? |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-west-bengal-school-service-commission-recruitment-scam-7869437/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Chowdhury|first=Santanu}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=27 March 2026 |title='Chargesheet' first, manifesto next: Amit Shah to release document listing failures of TMC government |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/chargesheet-first-manifesto-next-amit-shah-to-release-document-listing-failures-of-tmc-government-10604448/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=17 March 2026 |title=TMC under pressure as welfare politics meets voter frustration in Bengal |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/tmc-under-pressure-as-welfare-politics-meets-voter-frustration-in-bengal-232281 |website=The Federal |language=en}}</ref> The AITC, by contrast, emphasised welfare delivery, continuity and its development record.<ref name=":0">{{cite news |date=20 March 2026 |title=Mamata woos voters with 10 commitments, says Bengal will be destination for industry |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly/mamata-woos-voters-with-10-commitments-says-bengal-will-be-destination-for-industry/article70765593.ece |work=The Hindu|last=Chatterjee|first=Shrabana|last2=Singh|first2=Shiv Sahay}}</ref><ref name="HinduContinuity" />

=== Women's safety ===
Women's safety was a recurring issue in the campaign, especially after the [[2024 Kolkata rape and murder|2024 R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder]] case, which drew national attention and remained part of the wider law and order debate.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Roy |first1=Suryagni |last2=Roy |first2=Anirban Sinha |date=15 August 2024 |title=Woman trainee doctor found dead in seminar hall of Kolkata hospital |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/cities/kolkata/story/west-bengal-trainee-doctor-dead-rg-kar-medical-college-hospital-2579796-2024-08-09 |website=India Today}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=16 August 2024 |title=Kolkata doctor rape-murder case: All you need to know |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/west-bengal/kolkata-doctor-rape-murder-case-all-you-need-to-know-3148176#6 |website=Deccan Herald}}</ref><ref name="FederalIssues" /> The AITC cited [[National Crime Records Bureau|NCRB]] data showing Kolkata's comparatively low reported crime rate among large cities, while the BJP argued that such data did not capture under-reporting or failures to register cases.<ref>{{cite report |url=https://www.ncrb.gov.in/uploads/files/1CrimeinIndia2023PartI.pdf |title=Crime in India 2023 - Statistics - Volume I |date=26 September 2025 |publisher=National Crime Records Bureau |location= |place=New Delhi |pages=211–266 |docket= |access-date= |format=PDF |work=}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=5 October 2025 |title=Kolkata again tops NCRB 2023 safety list: TMC lauds data, BJP raises questions over its accuracy |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/kolkata-again-tops-ncrb-2023-safety-list-tmc-lauds-data-bjp-raises-questions-over-its-accuracy-10288288/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref>

=== Economy and employment ===

Employment, industrial development and public recruitment were also prominent issues, particularly among younger and urban voters. Concerns about job creation, delayed recruitment examinations, the effects of the recruitment scandal, and competing claims over investment and industrial growth featured prominently in the campaign.<ref>{{cite web |date=18 September 2024 |title=West Bengal economy performs poorly over several decades: EAC-PM paper |url=https://www.thehindu.com/business/Economy/west-bengal-economy-performs-poorly-over-several-decades-eac-pm-paper/article68654721.ece |work=The Hindu}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=6 October 2023 |title=WBCS Prelims postponed, fresh schedule expected soon |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/wbcs-prelims-postponed-fresh-schedule-expected-soon-check-more-details-here/articleshow/104210072.cms |work=The Times of India}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{cite web |date=17 March 2026 |title=TMC under pressure as welfare politics meets voter frustration in Bengal |url=https://thefederal.com/elections-2026/tmc-under-pressure-as-welfare-politics-meets-voter-frustration-in-bengal-234705 |website=The Federal |language=en|last=Purkayastha|first=Samir K}}</ref> The BJP foregrounded jobs and industrial revival in its criticism of the state government, while the AITC campaigned on welfare schemes and promised continued investment and infrastructure expansion.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{cite web |date=10 April 2026 |title=Rs 3,000 monthly assistance for women; new AIIMS, IIT for North Bengal: Amit Shah releases BJP Sankalpa Patra for Bengal polls |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/rs-3000-monthly-assistance-for-women-new-aiims-iit-for-north-bengal-amit-shah-releases-bjp-sankalpa-patra-for-bengal-polls-10629715/ |work=The Indian Express|last=Bose|first=Tanusree}}</ref>

=== Anti-incumbency ===
Anti-incumbency after 15 years of AITC rule was also noted as a factor in the contest, although it overlapped with disputes over SIR, identity and citizenship.<ref name="HinduContinuity" /><ref name="HinduKeyIssues" /><ref name=":1" /> Dissatisfaction over jobs, corruption, governance and law and order was often discussed alongside these issues rather than separately.<ref name="FederalIssues" /><ref name="IESIR" />

== Schedule ==

The [[Election Commission of India]] announced the schedule for the West Bengal Legislative Assembly election on 15 March 2026.<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 March 2026 |title=West Bengal assembly elections on April 23 and April 29, results on May 4 |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/west-bengal-assembly-election-voting-date-nominations-results-date-time-phases-full-schedule-101773569374988.html |access-date=15 March 2026 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en|last=Chatterjee|first=Tanmay}}</ref>

* The conduction of SIR in the state before the election, removed about 60 lakh ASDD (Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate) voter entries leading to reduced total voters and a high turnout.
* Due to high deletion in the voter list, voters have felt importance to cast vote and use their democratic rights. Some, especially Muslims and Bangladeshi refugees, feared if they don't, it may create problems in their future voting rights, further leading to cancellation of other government facilities or even citizenship.
* Media reported high numbers of migrant labours coming from other states for the election. Upon one viral video from Gujarat, TMC accused BJP of breaching Election code by arranging train tickets and foods to migrant voters of Bengal working in other states, who were returning to the state in order to vote.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ghosh |first=Shubhojyoti |date=2026-04-22 |title=পশ্চিমবঙ্গে ভোট: পরিযায়ী শ্রমিকদের ঘরে ফেরার ঢল নিয়ে বিজেপির বিরুদ্ধে অভিযোগ তৃণমূল কংগ্রেসের |url=https://www.bbc.com/bengali/articles/cq8wjl1lnvno |access-date=2026-05-02 |website=BBC News বাংলা |language=bn}}</ref>
* Possibilities of potential anti-incumbency like the previous 2011 election and a general trend all over the world during ruling party change in elections. This turned out to be true after the results.
* In urban centres, mainly Kolkata metropolis, the usual low turnout trend changed. One of the main reason of this change was setting up of new booths in high rises and housing complexes. The residents, especially aged persons, felt excitement, ease and comfort in that while avoiding possibilities of poll violence outside.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Bannerjee |first=Sudeshna |date=1 May 2026 |title=New Town complexes vote at home |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/elections/west-bengal-assembly-election-2026/new-town-complexes-vote-at-home-prnt/cid/2158543 |work=The Telegraph India}}</ref> In previous elections, there were cases of such high rises and complexes being locked up by mobs linked to the ruling party TMC, during the elections.

[[West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee|Bengal Congress]] president [[Subhankar Sarkar]] called the 15 years of Trinamool Congress rule as "filled with endless corruption, political violence, violence against women which include heinous crimes like the R. G. Kar case and the attempt to hide the involved criminals, underdevelopment, unemployment, etc. created agitation among the public that got reflected in the election results with the defeat of TMC and a first-time-win for the BJP". He further blamed TMC for paving the road for BJP to come to power in Bengal while respectfully accepting the people's verdict and also to play the role of a responsible and constructive opposition.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bharat |first=E.

The people of Bengal wanted to oust Mamata and were able to breathe a sigh of relief as she lost. You yourself are a thief, looting in every local elections". According to his analysis, he lost due to the first priority of Hindus to oust Mamata led TMC as they were fearing a "West Bangladesh" which on TMC winning would have caused a statewide 'Saffron Cyclone' and unprecedented Hindu polarization.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BJP wins in West Bengal: Adhir Chowdhury slammed Mamata Banerjee for not resigning yet |url=https://www.aajkaal.in/west-bengal/bjp-wins-in-west-bengal-adhir-chowdhury-slammed-mamata-banerjee-for-not-resigning-yet-494631 |access-date=2026-05-10 |website=www.aajkaal.in |language=bn-IN}}</ref> On the other hand, Congress workers were distributing sweets to people with joy as they celebrated the loss of TMC in Shyampur.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Roy |first=Subrata |date=2026-05-06 |title=হাওড়ায় বিজেপির জয়ের আনন্দে লাড্ডু বিলি কংগ্রেস নেতার |url=https://www.eimuhurte.com/state/howrah-congress-leader-distribute-laddu-for-victory-bjp/ |access-date=2026-05-12 |website=Ei Muhurte Breaking News in Bangla, বাংলা খবর, বাংলার আজকের খবর এই মুহূর্তে |language=en-US}}</ref>

On 20 October 2005, she protested against the forceful land acquisition and the atrocities perpetrated against local farmers in the name of the [[industrial development]] policy of the [[Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee]] government in West Bengal. Benny Santoso, [[CEO]] of the [[Indonesia]]-based Salim Group, had pledged a large investment in West Bengal, and the [[West Bengal government]] had given him farmland in Howrah, sparking protests. In soaking rain, Banerjee and other Trinamool Congress members stood in front of the Taj Hotel where Santoso had arrived, shut out by the police. Later, she and her supporters followed Santoso's convoy. A planned "black flag" protest was avoided when the government had Santoso arrive three hours ahead of schedule.<ref>{{cite news

P. J. Abdul Kalam]], who was concerned about her health, spoke to the then-Prime Minister [[Manmohan Singh]] to resolve the issue. Kalam also appealed to Banerjee to withdraw her fast as "life is precious". A letter from Manmohan Singh was faxed to [[Gopalkrishna Gandhi]], the then-Governor of West Bengal, and then it was immediately delivered to Mamata.

=== 2009–2011 electoral progress ===
Before the 2009 parliamentary elections she allied with the [[United Progressive Alliance]] (UPA) led by Indian National Congress. The alliance won 26 seats. Banerjee joined the central cabinet as the railway minister (second tenure). In the 2010 Municipal Elections in West Bengal, TMC won Kolkata Municipal Corporation by a margin of 62 seats. TMC also won Bidhan Nagar Corporation by a seven-seat margin.<ref>{{cite news|last=Singh|first=Raj|title=Who is Mamata Banerjee?|url=http://www.indiatvnews.com/politics/national/who-is-mamata-banerjee--5920.html|access-date=24 December 2014|publisher=[[India TV]]|date=20 April 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150109064644/http://www.indiatvnews.com/politics/national/who-is-mamata-banerjee--5920.html|archive-date=9 January 2015}}</ref> In 2011, Banerjee won a sweeping majority and assumed the position of chief minister of the state of West Bengal. Her party ended the 34-year rule of the Left Front.

Trinamool Congress performed well in the 2009 parliamentary election, winning 19 seats. Its allies in Congress and SUCI also won six and one seats respectively marking the best performance by any opposition party in West Bengal since the beginning of the Left's regime. Until then, the Congress victory of 16 seats in 1984, was considered their best show in opposition.

==== 2026 Enforcement Directorate — I-PAC searches ====
In January 2026, the [[Enforcement Directorate]] (ED) carried out searches at the offices of the political consultancy Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) in [[Kolkata]] and at related locations as part of a money-laundering probe linked to an alleged coal pilferage case. During the operation on 8 January 2026, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited the premises, including the residence of I-PAC director Pratik Jain and the company's office, while searches were underway. The ED alleged that Banerjee and members of her party's team removed physical documents and electronic devices from the premises, which the agency described as interference with its investigation; Banerjee and the [[Trinamool Congress]] denied the allegation, saying she was safeguarding party documents and accusing the agency of political motivation. The ED subsequently approached the Calcutta High Court and later the Supreme Court alleging obstruction of its investigation, and Kolkata Police registered FIRs and began separate inquiries related to the incident; the matter is the subject of ongoing litigation and investigation.<ref name="NDTV">{{cite news |title=Probe agency ED approaches Supreme Court in showdown with Mamata Banerjee |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/probe-agency-ed-complains-to-supreme-court-in-showdown-with-mamata-banerjee-10600365 |newspaper=NDTV |date=10 January 2026 |access-date=11 January 2026}}</ref><ref name="TOI">{{cite news |title=I-PAC raids: ED moves SC over 'interference' from Mamata govt, Bengal files counter-petition caveat |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/i-pac-raids-ed-moves-sc-over-alleged-interference-from-mamata-govt-bengal-files-counter-petition-caveat-hc-hearing-pushed-to-jan-14/articleshow/126450932.cms |newspaper=The Times of India |date=10 January 2026 |access-date=11 January 2026}}</ref><ref name="ET">{{cite news |title=ED moves Supreme Court in I-PAC case, alleges interference by Mamata Banerjee-led Bengal govt |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/ed-moves-supreme-court-in-i-pac-case-alleges-interference-by-mamata-banerjee-led-bengal-govt/articleshow/126453569.cms |newspaper=The Economic Times |date=10 January 2026 |access-date=11 January 2026}}</ref><ref name="IE">{{cite news |title=ED raids on I-PAC: Kolkata police start recording statements of guards, house help at Pratik Jain's house |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/ed-raids-i-pac-kolkata-police-guards-house-prateek-jain-house-10466280/ |newspaper=The Indian Express |date=11 January 2026 |access-date=11 January 2026}}</ref>

The '''chief minister of Tamil Nadu''' is the [[head of government]] of the Indian state of [[Tamil Nadu]]. In accordance with the [[Constitution of India]], the [[Governor (India)|governor]] is a state's ''[[de jure]]'' head, while the ''[[de facto]]'' authority rests with the [[Chief Minister (India)|chief minister]]. Following elections to the [[Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly]], the [[Governor of Tamil Nadu|state's governor]] usually invites the party (or coalition) with the majority of seats in the assembly to form the [[Government of Tamil Nadu|government]]. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose [[Cabinet (government)|council of ministers]] are [[Cabinet collective responsibility|collectively responsible]] to the assembly. Given that the chief minister has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no [[term limit]]s.<ref>{{cite book|author=Durga Das Basu|author-link=Durga Das Basu|title=Introduction to the Constitution of India|year=1960|pages=241-245|publisher=LexisNexis Butterworths Wadhwa|isbn=978-81-8038-559-9|quote=Although the text talks about Indian state governments in general, it applies for the specific case of Tamil Nadu as well.}}</ref>

Since 1950, Tamil Nadu has had 14 [[Chief minister (India)|chief ministers]].{{efn|Includes [[V. R. Nedunchezhiyan]], who filled in as the chief minister in an acting role twice}} The first four chief ministers belonged to the [[Indian National Congress]], of which [[K. Kamaraj]] held the post for the longest, for more than nine years. With the rise of [[Dravidian parties]] in the state, [[C. N. Annadurai]] of the [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK) became the first non-Congress chief minister in 1969. Annadurai was from the [[Tamil cinema|Tamil film industry]], and since his tenure, a significant number of the state's chief ministers have hailed from the industry.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatvnews.com/politics/national/m-g-ramachandran-the-first-film-actor-to-become-chief-minister-13043.html|title=M G Ramachandran: The first film actor to become Chief Minister in India|date=14 October 2013|work=[[India TV]]|access-date=15 October 2013|archive-date=20 November 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120025905/https://www.indiatvnews.com/politics/national/m-g-ramachandran-the-first-film-actor-to-become-chief-minister-13043.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

The [[Madras Presidency]], based at [[Fort St. George]], was a [[Presidencies and provinces of British India|presidency of India]] that was established in 1652 by the [[East India Company|English East India Company]] to be the headquarters of the English settlements on the [[Coromandel Coast]].

The territory under the presidency consisted of the village of Madrasapattinam and its surrounding regions. After a series of wars including the [[Anglo-French wars]], [[Anglo-Mysore wars]], and [[Polygar wars]], and the consequent alliance with the [[Carnatic Sultanate|Nawab of Arcot]], it was expanded to cover the region from the [[Northern Circars]] to [[Kanyakumari|Cape Comorin]], and included present-day [[Tamil Nadu]], the [[Malabar Coast|Malabar region]] of North [[Kerala]], the [[Coastal Andhra|coastal]] and [[Rayalaseema]] regions of [[Andhra Pradesh]], and the [[Bellary]], [[Dakshina Kannada]], and [[Udupi]] districts of [[Karnataka]].

The [[Indian Councils Act 1861]] set up the [[Tamil Nadu Legislative Council|Madras Legislative Council]] as an advisory body, without powers, through which the colonial administration obtained advice and assistance from able and willing Indian leaders. However, the members were appointed and not elected by the public. With the enactment of the [[Government of India Act 1919]], the first elected legislature was formed in 1920 after the general elections.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.constitutionofindia.net/historical-constitution/government-of-india-act-1919/|title=Government of India Act, 1919|work=Centre for Law and Policy Research, Bengaluru|access-date=23 May 2016|archive-date=18 May 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250518134448/https://www.constitutionofindia.net/historical-constitution/government-of-india-act-1919/|url-status=live}}</ref> The term of the [[legislative council]] was three years. It had 132 members, of whom 34 were nominated by the governor and the rest were elected.

As per the ''[[Government of India Act 1935]]'', a [[bicameral]] legislature was set up with a legislative assembly consisting of 215 members and a legislative council having 56 members. The first legislative assembly under this act was constituted in July 1937. The legislative council was a permanent body, with a third of its members retiring every three years and having the power to decide on bills passed by the assembly.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.constitutionofindia.net/historical-constitution/government-of-india-act-1935/|title=Government of India Act, 1935|work=Centre for Law and Policy Research, Bengaluru|access-date=23 May 2016|archive-date=18 March 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250318142618/https://www.constitutionofindia.net/historical-constitution/government-of-india-act-1935/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1939, the [[Governor-General of India]] declared India's entry into [[World War II]] without consulting the [[Imperial Legislative Council]]. The [[Indian National Congress]] protested by asking all its elected representatives to resign from governments.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.insightsonindia.com/modern-indian-history/freedom-to-partition-1939-1947/resignation-of-congress-ministers-1939/|title=Resignation of Congress Ministers ,1939|work=InsightsIAS|access-date=23 May 2016|archive-date=14 June 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250614014904/https://www.insightsonindia.com/modern-indian-history/freedom-to-partition-1939-1947/resignation-of-congress-ministers-1939/|url-status=live}}</ref> It was reconstituted after new provincial elections were conducted in 1946.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.constitutionofindia.net/historical-constitution/cabinet-mission-plan-cabinet-mission-1946/|title=Cabinet Mission Plan (Cabinet Mission, 1946)|work=Centre for Law and Policy Research, Bengaluru|access-date=23 May 2016|archive-date=16 February 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250216084410/https://www.constitutionofindia.net/historical-constitution/cabinet-mission-plan-cabinet-mission-1946/|url-status=live}}</ref> The governance structure also evolved from a modest secretariat with a single secretary for the public department in 1670 to six departments overseen by a [[Chief Secretary (India)|chief secretary]] by 1920.

===Development after independence===
[[Madras State]], the precursor to the present-day state of Tamil Nadu, was created after [[Republic Day (India)|India became a republic]] on 26 January 1950.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.constitutionofindia.net/read/|title=The Constitution of India|work=Centre for Law and Policy Research, Bengaluru|access-date=24 February 2016|archive-date=7 June 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250607103847/https://www.constitutionofindia.net/read/|url-status=live}}</ref> It consisted of present-day Tamil Nadu and parts of present-day [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[Karnataka]], and [[Kerala]]. The first legislature of the Madras State to be elected on the basis of [[universal suffrage]] was constituted on 1 March 1952, after the [[general elections]] held in January 1952.

The state was split up along linguistic lines in 1953, carving out [[Andhra State]]. Under the [[States Reorganisation Act]], 1956, the states of [[Kerala]] and [[Mysore State]] were carved out of [[Madras State]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/news/explainer-reorganization-states-india-and-why-it-happened-52273|title=Explainer: The reorganization of states in India and why it happened|date=2 November 2016|publisher=[[The News Minute]]|access-date=5 November 2016|archive-date=15 May 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250515182812/https://www.thenewsminute.com/news/explainer-reorganization-states-india-and-why-it-happened-52273|url-status=live}}</ref> Under the [[Andhra Pradesh and Madras Alteration of Boundaries Act]], 1959, with effect from 1 April 1960, [[Tiruttani taluk]] and [[Pallipattu]] sub-taluk of [[Chittoor district]] of Andhra Pradesh were transferred to Madras in exchange for territories from the [[Chingleput District (Madras Presidency)|Chingelput]] and [[Salem district|Salem]] districts.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1441671/|title=The Andhra Pradesh And Madras (Alteration Of Boundaries) Act, 1959|date=24 December 1959|work=[[Indian Kanoon]]|access-date=25 December 2016|archive-date=11 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230811205424/https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1441671/|url-status=live}}</ref>

;Change in nomenclature
During the term of the [[4th Madras Assembly|fourth assembly]] on 18 July 1967, the house unanimously adopted and recommended that steps be taken by the state government to secure the necessary amendment to the [[Constitution of India]] to change the name of Madras State to [[Tamil Nadu]]. Accordingly, the Madras State (Alteration of Name) Act, 1968 (Central Act 53 of 1968) was passed by the [[Parliament of India]] and came into force on 14 January 1969.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lawsisto.com/Read-Central-Act/1279/MADRAS-STATE-ALTERATION-OF-NAME-ACT-1968|title=Madras State (Alteration of Name) Act, 1968|date=20 December 1968|work=Lawsisto.com|access-date=1 November 2019|archive-date=3 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220203131442/https://lawsisto.com/Read-Central-Act/1279/MADRAS-STATE-ALTERATION-OF-NAME-ACT-1968|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/tracing-the-demand-to-rename-madras-state-as-tamil-nadu/article66347708.ece|title=Tracing the demand to rename Madras State as Tamil Nadu|date=6 January 2023|work=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=14 January 2023|archive-date=28 April 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250428184310/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/tracing-the-demand-to-rename-madras-state-as-tamil-nadu/article66347708.ece|url-status=live}}</ref> Consequently, the nomenclature "Madras Legislative Assembly" was changed to "[[Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly]]". From 1967 onwards, the strength of the assembly continued to remain at 234 plus a nominated member.

From 1952 to 1986, the state had a parliamentary system of government with two democratically elected houses, the [[Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly|Legislative Assembly]] and the [[Tamil Nadu Legislative Council|Legislative Council]]. On 14 May 1986, the [[Government of Tamil Nadu|state government]] passed a resolution to abolish the legislative council in the state, which was then moved and adopted by the house. On 1 November 1986, [[Tamil Nadu]] became a state with a unicameral legislature, and since then, several times, the state government has taken steps to reconstitute the legislative council, but they have failed for so long. The Tamil Nadu Legislative Council has not been constituted in the state to date.
