This is the first state election after the demise of former AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa and DMK stalwart M Karunanidhi. The main battle is between Karunanidhi's son and DMK chief M K Stalin and AIADMK's Edappadi K. Palaniswami-O Panneerselvam combo. Apart from them, this election is also a litmus test for popular actor Kamal Haasan's Makkal Needhi Maiam and T T V Dhinakaran's Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam.
Total Seats: 234 | Majority: 118
