Vijay to Take Oath as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Eight-Member Cabinet Likely to Join Him
C. Joseph Vijay's alliance secured a majority with 120 seats after VCK and IUML support, enabling government formation following intense negotiations.
- On Saturday, TVK leader Vijay met Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar in Chennai and staked his claim to form the government. He will take the oath as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister at 10 a.m. Sunday at Nehru Stadium.
- The breakthrough came after the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi and the Indian Union Muslim League extended support to Vijay, pushing the alliance tally to 120 seats and surpassing the 118-seat simple majority mark in the Assembly.
- Congress support was linked to Vijay's long-standing connection with Rahul Gandhi, while outgoing Chief Minister M. K. Stalin stated the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam would function as a "constructive Opposition."
- Eight ministers are "likely" to take the oath alongside Vijay, who must prove his majority in the Assembly by May 13, 2026, as directed by the Governor.
- Tamil Nadu AICC in-charge Girish Chodankar formally conditioned support on keeping "communal forces" outside the alliance, citing a need to prevent them from gaining influence in the state.
