Tamil Nadu Assembly 2026: Tamil Nadu’s newly formed Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government on Wednesday proved its majority in the assembly today. Vijay won the floor test with 144 votes. AIADMK’s 26 rebel MLAs also voted for TVK. 22 MLAs voted against TVK, and five remained neutral.
Congress, VCK, IUML and Left parties have extended their support to TVK’s Vijay. Currently, TVK has 107 seats (after Chief Minister Vijay abdicated the Tiruchirappali East seat) in the assembly. The party also has the support of 13 MLAs of Congress, IUML, VCK, CPI and CPM.
DMK Boycotts Floor Test
DMK’s MLA and the leader of opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin on Tuesday said that the party will abstain from voting in the floor test. “The very people who voted for you have begun to feel that they have committed a grave error. We, the DMK, are staging a walkout and will not participate in the vote,” Stalin said.
“There should be a secular govt. Almost 65% people have rejected Vijay as CM. The majority of them didn’t vote for him. How long will this government last is what the people are thinking about,” he said.
