"Vijay's TVK Secures Victory Over DMK Minister by Slim Margin in Tiruppattur Election"

Actor-Turned-Politician's TVK Wins Tiruppattur Seat by a Margin of One Vote

In a nail-biting finish, Seenivasa Sethupathy R, representing Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), clinched victory in the Tiruppattur constituency in Tamil Nadu Assembly by a mere one-vote lead over the state government's Minister of Co-operatives, KR Periyakaruppan.

Seenivasa Sethupathy R secured 83,375 votes, defeating his rival and marking a significant win for TVK, which managed to secure an impressive 108 seats in its electoral debut. The ruling DMK faced a setback, with its seat count dropping to 74 from the 159 seats it held in the 2021 elections. The AIADMK also saw a decrease in seats, wiing 47 compared to the 66 it secured previously.

The DMK faced a blow as Chief Minister M K Stalin lost his seat to TVK's VS Babu. The party also experienced losses in Cheai, a stronghold that it swept in the previous elections. This time, TVK dominated the region, leaving DMK with only a few seats.

Throughout its campaign, TVK emphasized its center-left ideology, drawing inspiration from social justice icons such as BR Ambedkar, Periyar, and Kamaraj. The party positioned the BJP as its "ideological opponent" and labeled the DMK as its "political adversary," criticizing dynastic politics.

The state witnessed its highest-ever voter turnout, with 85.1% of registered voters casting their ballots. TVK's current vote share stands at approximately 32%, aligning closely with the DMK alliance.
