TVK 233:
A Debut, Mapped

Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam contested 233 of 234 constituencies and won 108 seats with a 1.32 seat-efficiency—the highest of any major party. A tsunami in Chennai. A ripple in the Cauvery delta. This is the regional anatomy of that result.

The Edappadi exception

TVK filed a candidate against every major AIADMK leader in TN 2026 — except one. AC #88 Edappadi, home constituency of AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami, was left uncontested. The only blank in 234 constituencies. Read as strategic deference, or a calculation that EPS in his fortress was not a fight worth picking.
