TVK emerged as the single largest party with 108 seats in the 234 member Assembly. However, the party remained short of the majority mark needed to form the government.

The Congress party, which won five seats, already extended support to TVK. As a result, the alliance strength increased to 113. Now, support from VCK, CPI and CPM is expected to take the number beyond the majority mark.
