Tamil Nadu Govt Formation: Vijay Seeks Time Amid Numbers Uncertainty
Vijay Seeks Two Weeks to Prove Majority Amid Tamil Nadu Govt Formation Deadlock Chennai | May 7, 2026: Vijay has reportedly sought two weeks from Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar to prove majority in the Assembly as uncertainty continues over government formation. The request followed his meeting with the Governor at Lok Bhavan amid intense political activity in the state. The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) emerged as the single-largest party with 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly but remains short of the majority mark. The Indian National Congress has extended support, taking the alliance closer to the required numbers. However, the Governor has reportedly asked for documentary proof of majority before extending an invitation to form the government. According to sources, Vijay submitted a list of supporting MLAs and sought additional time to secure backing from regional parties and independents. TVK leaders have also reached out to the Communist Party of India (CPI), Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) for support. The delay in inviting Vijay to form the government triggered protests by TVK cadres outside Lok Bhavan, with supporters urging the Governor to allow a floor test. Congress leaders also backed the move, stating that the majority should be proven in the Assembly. With political negotiations intensifying and reports of MLAs being shifted to resorts adding to the drama, the focus now remains on whether Vijay can secure enough support and the Governor’s next move in the government formation process.

Tamil Nadu Government Formation: Vijay Stakes Claim, EPS Seeks Governor Meeting
Tamil Nadu Government Formation: Vijay Stakes Claim, EPS Seeks Governor Meeting Chennai | May 7, 2026: Political activity intensified in Tamil Nadu as Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay met Governor Rajendra Arlekar to stake a claim to form the government after emerging as the single-largest party in the Assembly elections. Sources said Vijay currently has the support of around 112 MLAs but still needs to cross the majority mark of 118 seats in the 234-member Assembly. Congress, which won five seats in the elections, has already extended support to TVK. However, the numbers game continues as Vijay reportedly sought more time to secure additional backing from smaller parties and independent MLAs. Political uncertainty has triggered intense discussions and backchannel talks among major parties in the state. Meanwhile, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) has also sought time to meet Governor Rajendra Arlekar amid the ongoing government formation impasse. Sources said AIADMK has been engaged in coalition negotiations and has reportedly given TVK time until 1 pm to take a final decision regarding alliance discussions. The DMK has also stepped up political consultations by calling a meeting of its newly elected MLAs under party president MK Stalin. Reports suggest the party is preparing for a strong opposition role in the Assembly after winning 59 seats. At the same time, smaller parties, including the VCK and Left parties, are yet to announce their final stand on supporting any alliance for government formation. Adding to the political drama, reports of “resort politics” have surfaced in Tamil Nadu, with several AIADMK MLAs reportedly shifted to resorts in Puducherry amid fears of defections and intense political negotiations. TVK has also held meetings with its legislators in Chennai as discussions continue over possible support arrangements. Despite the uncertainty, preparations for Vijay’s possible swearing-in ceremony had reportedly begun earlier in Chennai before being delayed due to the unresolved majority issue. With all major parties actively engaged in negotiations, Tamil Nadu’s government formation process remains wide open and politically charged.
