The 2026 elections in Tamil Nadu have taken a dramatic turn, with Vijay emerging as the dominant force. Counting trends show TVK leading in over 100 seats, clearly ahead of DMK led by M. K. Stalin and AIADMK. With these numbers, Vijay’s path to becoming Chief Minister looks almost confirmed, though final confirmation depends on official results.
This sudden rise has shocked observers. For decades, Tamil Nadu politics has been controlled by DMK and AIADMK. Vijay breaking that structure in his very first electoral attempt signals a clear shift in voter sentiment and political dynamics. This is nothing short of a sensation.
Amid this political wave, Trisha Krishnan, who is rumored to be Vijay’s long-time partner, has unexpectedly entered the conversation. She was spotted visiting Vijay’s residence in Chennai during peak counting hours. Earlier, she had visited Tirumala. The timing, on a crucial election day and around her birthday, made the visit go viral and fueled speculation online, especially given long-standing rumors about their personal equation.
Meanwhile, Vijay is reportedly leading in both constituencies he contested, Tiruchirappalli East and Perambur. If he wins both, he will have to vacate one seat, leading to a by-election.
Social media has taken things further, with some users speculating that Trisha Krishnan could enter politics and even become a Deputy Chief Minister candidate if she contests and wins. However, there is no official confirmation of this, and it remains purely speculative. There is no indication from either side that she is entering politics.
