TVK names Vijay as CM candidate for 2026 elections
Jul-04-2025

Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has announced that Actor and party’s founder Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar, fondly known as Thalapathy Vijay, will be the chief ministerial face of the TVK for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly election. 

The TVK passed a special resolution adopted in the party’s executive committee meeting in this regard. While, Vijay also announced that TVK will go solo for the elections and that there would be no alliance with BJP and DMK. He said, ‘We are not like the DMK or the AIADMK to form an alliance with the BJP for political gains because we are TVK’.

The party has also proposed to hold a state conference on a large-scale next month and also decided to hold public meetings in villages to disseminate the party’s ideology.

Actor Vijay launched the TVK in February 2024, marking his political plunge after months of deliberations. However, the TVK did not contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and has been working to increase its base in Tamil Nadu ahead of assembly polls.
