Vijay will contest two assembly seats in Tamil Nadu for April 2026 elections.

Tamil Nadu actor Vijay will contest the upcoming state assembly elections from two constituencies, Perambur and Trichy East, marking his political debut. This dual candidacy strategy, often used by first-time politicians, aims to increase his chances of winning. The move challenges the ruling DMK in these key areas and signals a direct challenge to Chief Minister M. K. Stalin.
