As the counting of votes is underway for the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2021, early trends show that the DMK has an edge over the ruling AIADMK. DMK chief MK Stalin is leading from Kolathur. While Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM)'s actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan is leading from Coimbatore South.
Early trends show it is an advantage for the DMK in the state as Udhayanidhi Stalin is leading against PMK's AVA Kassali in Chepauk and his father MK Stalin in Kolathur. However, as the second round of counting votes ended, MNM chief Kamal Hassan trails at Coimbatore South constituency while Congress' Mayur Jayakumar leads. But, the actor-turned-politician is yet again in an advantageous position.
The counting for Tamil Nadu Assembly Election 2021 started at 8 AM on Sunday (May 2). The election is set to witness a tight contest between the ruling AIADMK which is in alliance with BJP and MK Stalin-led DMK which fought the election in alliance with Congress.
The initial trends are showing that DMK is heading towards a victory but the trends are only for postal ballots and they can always. The 234-member Tamil Nadu assembly needs a party to have a majority mark of 118 to emerge a winner. On the other hand, the counting for bye-election to the Kanyakumari Lok Sabha seat held on April 6 is also being done today.
Several exit polls have predicted a comfortable victory for DMK which is looking to return to power after a decade and dethrone the ruling AIADMK. Earlier, it was announced by the Tamil Nadu government that a complete lockdown will be there on counting day but movement/transport of officials, political party functionaries, counting agents, and others will be allowed.
