Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026 | AIADMK will not support Vijay's TVK to form govt, clarifies party

The AIADMK has said that it will not be extending support to the Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam(TVK) in government formation in Tamil Nadu, days after the actor-turned politician's party emerged as the single largest party, winning 108 seats in its maiden electoral debut.

The party has not backed the TVK under any circumstances so far, it said.

TVK is falling short of 6 seats even after the Congress extended support to it to form the government, breaking off from DMK, led by M K Stalin.

The DMK later dubbed the act of Congress to snap ties with it and join forces with TVK as "backstabbing."

Responding to reports of AIADMK MLAs elect favouring a post-poll alliance supporting the TVK, AIADMK deputy general secretary K P Munusamy called them false.

"This is entirely false. Under no circumstances the AIADMK will support the TVK. We are issuing this clarification as per the instruction of our party general secretary (Edappadi K Palaniswami)," he said.

The party had secured 47 seats in the election held on April 23.

In another development, as the state continues to see political churn, the VCK, an ally of DMK, will hold a meeting on May 7 to take a decision on whether to support TVK, the party sources said on Wednesday.
