Tamil Nadu Swearing-in LIVE Updates: VCK Extends Support to TVK for Govt Formation; Vijay Set to Become CM

TVK leader Thalapathy Vijay's swearing-in as Tamil Nadu CM proceeds, but faces a political deadlock with some allies refusing to confirm support.

  • Actor-Politician Thalapathy Vijay is set to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Saturday morning at 11 am at Chennai's Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium.
  • On Friday, Vijay visited the Raj Bhavan to submit a formal letter to the Governor seeking an invitation to form the government, marking his third meeting amid intense political activity.
  • The alliance currently stands at 118 MLAs, comprising 108 TVK legislators, five Congress MLAs, and two each from the CPI, CPM, and VCK, according to sources.
  • While TVK leaders project a decisive mandate, the 118 MLAs fall short of the majority mark of 118 required in the 234-member Assembly; IUML has refused support and AMMK remains unconfirmed.
  • Senior political leaders are expected to attend the ceremony as TVK prepares to assume power for the first time, with preparations underway at the venue.
