Tamil Nadu’s political landscape is witnessing a potential once-in-a-generation disruption, as actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay’s party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) races ahead in early counting trends, leaving traditional heavyweights scrambling.

Market Snapshot (Political Scorecard at 10:45 AM)

TVK: 98 seats (clear frontrunner)
AIADMK+: 67 seats
DMK+: 42 seats

Majority mark: 118 seats

Biggest Shocker: CM M. K. Stalin Trailing

Kolathur constituency:
- TVK candidate leads with 8,393 votes
- Stalin at 7,159 votes

This is not just a seat-level upset—it signals a top-down disruption of incumbency power.
