Chennai, May 8: Vijay, founder of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, will take oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu at 11 am on Saturday, May 9.

The swearing-in ceremony is expected to be held in Chennai in the presence of senior political leaders, party workers and invited guests.

Vijay’s elevation comes after the TVK emerged as the single-largest party in the recently concluded Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, ending the decades-long dominance of the DMK and AIADMK in the state’s political landscape.

The actor-turned-politician had held multiple rounds of discussions with R V Arlekar over government formation before staking claim with the support of allied legislators.

TVK reportedly secured outside support from Congress, the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi and Left parties to cross the majority mark in the Assembly.

Security arrangements have been tightened ahead of the oath-taking ceremony, while large gatherings of supporters are expected across Chennai.
