Tamil Nadu assembly election results 2026: Winners list from DMK

As counting commenced, the DMK surged across Tamil Nadu, consolidating strongholds and making steady gains, particularly in urban areas and traditional bastions. The AIADMK-led opposition held select pockets, while actor Vijay's TVK emerged as a significant force, leading in early postal ballot trends.

As the Tamil Nadu mandate began to take shape on counting day, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) surged ahead across the state, reflecting a mix of consolidated strongholds, steady gains and scattered resistance from the opposition.Counting in 234 Assembly constituencies began at 8am, starting with postal ballots and moving into successive EVM rounds across multiple secured centres. The ruling party appeared to maintain a firm grip over key regions shaped by welfare politics and entrenched party networks.
