Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president C. Joseph Vijay on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) reached out to the Congress, a constituent of the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance, seeking support to form the government in Tamil Nadu, as the debutant emerged as the single largest party in the Assembly, winning 108 seats, falling short of a simple majority in the 234-member House.

The national party, which won five seats, hinted it could extend support. In New Delhi, All India Congress Committee general secretary K.C. Venugopal confirmed that the TVK has formally sought Congress’ backing.
