Vijay set to take oath as Tamil Nadu CM after historic TVK victory

Actor-turned-politician and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} is set to take oath as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after his party’s stunning performance in the Assembly elections. The swearing-in ceremony in Chennai is expected to witness the presence of several political leaders, celebrities, and supporters as TVK prepares to officially form the government.

TVK emerged as the single largest party in the 234-member Assembly, crossing the crucial support mark with backing from alliance partners and outside supporters. The development marks one of the most dramatic political shifts in Tamil Nadu’s recent history, ending decades of dominance by traditional Dravidian parties.

The ceremony has triggered massive celebrations among Vijay fans and party cadres across the State. Roads near the venue have been decorated with giant cut-outs, party flags, and banners, while security arrangements have been tightened in Chennai ahead of the high-profile event.

Political observers describe Vijay’s rise as a major turning point in South Indian politics, with his campaign focusing heavily on youth outreach, anti-corruption messaging, welfare promises, and governance reforms. His transition from cinema superstar to Chief Minister is already being compared to the journeys of legendary actor-politicians from Tamil Nadu’s past.

Attention is now shifting to the composition of the first TVK cabinet, possible alliance dynamics, and the new government’s immediate priorities on employment, infrastructure, welfare, and investment.
