Thalapathy Vijay Confirmed as Tamil Nadu's Next Chief Minister — Oath Tomorrow at 11 AM

The wait is over. Thalapathy Vijay is set to become Tamil Nadu's next Chief Minister.

Vijay is set to be sworn in as the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu tomorrow at 11 AM, in a development that marks a major political moment in the state, with Vijay preparing to lead Tamil Nadu after emerging as the head of the single largest party and successfully gathering post-poll support. The Indian Union Muslim League, which won two seats in Tamil Nadu, has also extended its support to TVK, taking the coalition well past the 118-seat majority mark needed to form a stable government.

This election marked the first time a non-Dravidian party emerged as the largest party in the assembly since the 1960s, breaking a tradition of power alternating between the DMK and the AIADMK. The outgoing Chief Minister M. K. Stalin of the DMK lost his election from the Kolathur constituency where he had previously won thrice consecutively. Tamil Nadu — and the rest of India — will be watching the Nehru Stadium on May 9 as Thalapathy Vijay takes his oath of office
