Tents are being removed at Anna Arivalayam, the DMK headquarters in Chennai, as early trends from the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections indicate a changing political picture. TVK is leading with 45 seats, AIADMK follows with 41, while DMK is trailing at 19 seats in initial trends. The activity at the DMK headquarters reflects the early reaction to the numbers as counting continues. Officials, however, caution that these are only preliminary trends and the final outcome may change as more rounds of counting progress.
