Vijay will become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu through his upcoming oath taking ceremony which will happen on May 10 that is today after some minutes. The official document from Lok Bhavan confirms that Governor Arlekar of Tamil Nadu will start his initial cabinet by selecting nine officials as his first ministers. The swearing in ceremony will take place at Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai at 10 AM, and the event is expected to attract a large crowd of attendees.
The government will be established after days of intense political maneuvering which created uncertainty about Assembly majority control in the 234 member Tamil Nadu Assembly. The first Assembly elections resulted in TVK winning 108 seats but they did not reach the 118-seat majority required to control the Assembly. Vijay and his team then contacted multiple organizations including Congress and CPI and CPI M and VCK and IUML to build their government coalition. The Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and the Indian Union Muslim League IUML provided their complete backing to the Vijay led coalition which enabled it to attain 120 supports. After a successful negotiation, Vijay met Governor Arlekar for the fourth time in four days to form a government. Later the Governor invited him to create the ministry and officially appoint him as Chief Minister. TVK’s offices across Tamil nadu witnessed celebration soon after the announcement, with the party workers bursting firecrackers, distributing sweets and waving party flags. The development has been dubbed historic as for the first time in almost seven decades, the Tamil Nadu government will be run by neither DMK nor AIADMK.
The scale of TVK‘s success in the first ever Assembly vote has attracted the nation’s attention as Vijay made his political debut. The actor challenged and defeated from two constituencies (Perambur, in Chennai, and Tiruchirappalli East), but will ultimately have to face the challenge from one of the two, leaving TVK at 107. The government supporters include the Congress with five MLAs, while CPI, CPI (M), VCK and IUML have two each. The Assembly poll was held on April 23 and the results were declared on May 4, laying the foundation for one of the biggest political changes in decades in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
