Madurai East, a key constituency, has seen the DMK emerge as a dominant force, securing significant victories in recent elections.

Actor Vijay's TVK party is making a strong debut in Madurai's assembly elections. The party is leading in several key constituencies, including Madurai East and Madurai Central. Established parties DMK and AIADMK face unexpected challenges. TVK candidates are ahead of sitting ministers and incumbent MLAs. This election marks a significant shift in Madurai's political landscape.

In a stunning shift, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam has transformed Tamil Nadu's political dynamics, relegating the DMK to the opposition role and leaving the AIADMK trailing in third place.

The anticipated consolidation of Thevar votes in southern districts has fragmented, with key leaders aligning with different parties. This political realignment occurs as AIADMK seeks to regain ground, while DMK strengthens its position by inducting expelled AIADMK leaders. The presence of new political entities and community votes further complicates the electoral landscape.
