 "Tamil Nadu Election 2021 Winning Candidates Full List: DMK set to win over 130 seats; check winners, losers, constituency performance")
After spending a decade in Opposition, MK Stalin-led DMK seemed set to return to power in Tamil Nadu with 106 wins and leads in 52 others seats in the southern states. The incumbent ruling party AIADMK, too, won a chunk of the seats (42 wins and 26 leads) and would be playing the role of a formidable Opposition. A party needs a minimum of 118 seats for a simple majority in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly. As per the Election Commission website, DMK has won 91 seats and is ahead in 41 seats. If the trends hold good, with Congress and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi poised to win 21 seats, and Left parties CPI and CPM bringing two seats each, the DMK and allies will have a comfortable majority with 158 seats in the legislative Assembly of 234 MLAs. The AIADMK has won 42 seats and is ahead in 26 seats and together with its partners could win at least 77 constituencies, according to trends made available by the Election Commission for all the 234 segments post-midnight. Allies PMK and BJP were ahead in one seat each.
