C Joseph Vijay is sworn in as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu after his party, the Tvl/TVK (Tamil version of the Vijay–Katchi alliance), emerges as the single largest political group in the state assembly following elections. The Times of India reports that Vijay secures the required majority with support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and the Indian Union Muslim League, enabling him to form a government. Both outlets note that the new administration follows TVK’s election success, ending the previous era associated with major Dravidian parties in power.
Times of India adds that Vijay is expected to seek a vote of confidence in the assembly by May 13. Al Jazeera similarly states that Vijay, an Indian film actor, becomes chief minister after his party wins the election. The available reports focus on his swearing-in, the election outcome for TVK, and the coalition/assistance needed to reach a majority.
