Oath of Tamil Nadu LIVE Updates: Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay is likely to be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Saturday, May 9. As of Saturday morning, an official statement from the governor is awaited.
IUML has rejected TVK’s support while Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) is yet to confirm its support to Vijay.
Where the numbers stand for TVK?
After days of seeking support from smaller political parties in the state, Vijay received “unconditional support” from the CPI and CPI(M) on Friday, in addition to the Congress support he received soon after the election results.
TVK’s number with VCK’s support (confirmation awaited) is 118 — the exact majority mark in the 234-member assembly. If VCK refuses to extend its support, then TVK will again fall short of the majority mark, with just 116 MLAs standing in the way of Vijay’s Tamil Nadu CM bid.
Will Vijay’s TVK cross the magic number? Who will be the Ministers of Tamil Nadu Government? Will VCK get the post of deputy CM? Who will get which position in the cabinet?
Stay tuned to this blog for latest updates on Tamil Nadu Government formation and oath taking ceremony.
