Actor Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), launched two years ago, is reported leading in numerous seats in early, low-quality election data from April 23 counting, potentially challenging the DMK-AIADMK duopoly that has governed Tamil Nadu since 1967. Claims of TVK leads vary widely and include internal contradictions, with Vijay reportedly ahead in two constituencies. Coverage is limited to left-center sources, raising questions about verification amid no confirmed ongoing assembly election.
