Vijay forms government in Tamil Nadu

Actor-turned-politician Vijay is set to be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after his TVK party emerged as the single largest force in the state assembly.

The historic win marks a major shift in the region's politics, ending decades of dominance by established parties.

Despite winning 108 seats, Vijay faces a constitutional challenge as Governor Rajendra Arlekar has paused the invitation until a clear majority is established.

Left parties have extended support to the TVK to help secure the necessary numbers for government formation.
