Actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay has been sworn in as Tamil Nadu's new Chief Minister along with nine other TVK cabinet ministers.

The ceremony was over by the governor of Tamil Nadu, Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and will take place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium.

Vijay's party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), emerged as the single-largest entity in the 2026 assembly elections with 108 seats. After vacating one of two contested seats, the party's effective strength stands at 107.

This comes on the back of Vijay securing a post-poll coalition totalling 120 MLAs, just two more than the required 118.
