Tamil Nadu Election Results: DMK Alliance Crosses Minimum Seats Needed for Simple Majority

New Delhi:Â With counting of votes underway, the DMK is currently leading in 117 and its allies in 19 of the state’s 234 seats, and the AIADMK alliance is leading in 94 seats.
As per the available data on the EC site, the DMK appears on course to emerge as not only the single largest party in the state but also to gain a complete majority on its own. The All India Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, which had also badly lost the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in the state â managing to win just one seat while the DMK-led alliance had walked away with all the other 38 â has shown little sign of improvement in these polls.

Chennai: The DMK led by M K Stalin was voted to power in Tamil Nadu on Sunday after a gap of 10 years. At the same time, the AIADMK under outgoing Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami sprung a surprise by putting up a creditable fight contrary to projections of a poor show in multiple opinion and exit polls.
While the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance either won or established leads in over 150 seats in the 234 member House; the AIADMK-led National Democratic Alliance managed to bag or lead in nearly 80 seats. With many rounds of counting pending in some constituencies, the final figure may vary.
