Tamil Nadu Election Results 2026 Winners: Who won, who lost - Key seats, top faces and FULL LIST of constituency-wise results

Counting of votes is underway since 8 am on Monday (May 4) across 823 assembly constituencies spanning West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and the Union Territory of Puducherry. The elections were held on April 23 in a single phase. The state is currently governed by Chief Minister MK Stalin-led DMK, which enjoys a comfortable majority. This election has evolved into a triangular contest, with the BJP attempting to widen its footprint and actor-turned-politician Vijay making his electoral debut with TVK. In the previous election, the Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) led by the DMK had ended the AIADMK’s decade-long rule in the state.

Key Seats in Tamil Nadu: Who won, who lost

Edappadi

The Edappadi seat remains a traditional bastion of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and is currently represented by party leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami. Edappadi K. Palaniswami WON

Avanashi (SC)

L Murugan, a former Tamil Nadu BJP president and current Union Minister of State, contesting from Avanashi, a constituency reserved for Scheduled Castes. The seat is seen as crucial for the Bharatiya Janata Party as it looks to deepen its presence in the Nilgiris and the western Kongu belt—regions where it has historically struggled. L Murugan LOST, TVK candidate won

Sattur

In Sattur, the BJP has fielded its state president Nainar Nagendran, a move that drew attention since his political base has largely been in Tirunelveli. He is TRAILING. A former AIADMK minister, his elevation within the BJP was partly aimed at strengthening ties with its key ally. Nainar Nagendran is TRAILING

Tiruchirappalli East

In Tiruchirappalli East, Vijay is making his electoral debut, taking on sitting DMK MLA Inigo Irudayaraj, while AIADMK’s K. Rajasekaran is also in the contest. Vijay WON

Kolathur

Chief Minister MK Stalin is seeking re-election from Kolathur, a seat he has held since 2011. A DMK stronghold, Kolathur is seen as a safe seat but remains symbolically significant for the party’s leadership. Stalin LOST, TVK candidate lost

Vilavancode

The BJP has nominated S Vijayadharani from Vilavancode, marking a high-profile contest. A three-time MLA and former leader in the Congress’ women’s wing, her switch to the BJP in 2024 was seen as a significant political shift. S Vijayadharani LOST, INC candidate WON

Dr. Radhakrishnan Nagar

Once represented by former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, Dr Radhakrishnan Nagar has seen shifting political dynamics. Currently held by DMK’s J John Ebenezer, the seat gained prominence after TTV Dhinakaran won it as an independent in a high-profile bypoll. TVK's N Marie Wilson WON

Coimbatore South

Coimbatore South is set for a direct contest between DMK’s V Senthilbalaji and AIADMK’s Amman K Arjunan. The constituency is considered a key battleground in western Tamil Nadu. V Senthilbalaji WON

Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni

Udhayanidhi Stalin, representing the next generation of leadership in the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, is contesting from Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni. A prominent campaigner, he has positioned himself as a youth-centric leader who combines political outreach with cultural engagement, making his performance crucial for the party’s future leadership narrative. Udhayanidhi Stalin WON

Mylapore

Senior BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan is contesting from Mylapore. A former governor, her candidature highlights the BJP’s strategy to strengthen its presence in urban constituencies by fielding well-known leaders and projecting itself as a governance-driven alternative to the DMK. Tamilisai Soundararajan LOST

Coimbatore North

Vanathi Srinivasan continues to be one of the BJP’s key figures in the Coimbatore region. With a strong organisational background and prior electoral success, she is expected to play a significant role both as a candidate and as a strategist in expanding the party’s base in western Tamil Nadu. Vanathi Srinivasan LOST
