Following this, the TDP received letters of support from the VKC and IUML, securing a clear majority, bringing the total support of the TDP to 120 MLAs. This clears the way for government formation.

According to political analysts, this change marks the beginning of a new era of coalitions in Tamil Nadu politics. The new government will now face the challenge of maintaining stability, development, and coalition balance in the state.
The swearing-in ceremony in Chennai is being seen as a turning point in the state’s politics, marking the formal beginning of a government with a new leadership.
