The [[2009 Indian general election]] polls in [[Tamil Nadu]] was held for 39 seats in the state. There was a radical change in the alliances in this election compared to the last election, reminiscent of the [[Indian general election in Tamil Nadu, 1999|1999 election in Tamil Nadu]]. In this election the [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK) decided to stay with the [[United Progressive Alliance]] (UPA), but the [[Pattali Makkal Katchi]] (PMK), [[Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (MDMK (breakaway)), and the left parties decided to ally itself with the [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK) and the newly formed [[Third Front (India)|Third Front]].

After counting on 16 May 2009, the results to everyone surprise, showed the DMK and its allies, [[Indian National Congress]] and [[Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi]], winning in a landslide victory, securing 27 out of 39 seats. DMK and its allies were also able to hold on to [[Indian general election in Pondicherry, 2009|Pondicherry]], which has one seat. Many expected, before the election, through opinion polling and voters on the ground, that AIADMK, and its allies, who were formerly with the UPA (PMK, MDMK, Left Front) in 2004, would win in a landslide, but due to the late surge of support for the DMK, and the nationwide support of the UPA government, the DMK and its allies, ended up winning the most seats, and this victory, proved crucial, for Congress to form the government on its own, without the [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]].

[[M.K. Azhagiri]], son of DMK leader [[Karunanidhi]], ran in the [[Madurai (Lok Sabha constituency)|Madurai]], and won his debut run in national politics. Out of the 24 incumbents from the 2004 Election, who ran again in this election, only 10 incumbents won, with 7 of the members from the DMK and 3 of the members from the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC).

Even though it was a big victory for DMK and allies, Congress fared poorly in the state compared to DMK, where cabinet minister [[Mani Shankar Aiyar]], who has been in power in [[Mayiladuturai (Lok Sabha constituency)|Mayiladuturai constituency]] for 10 years, was defeated and [[P. Chidambaram]], who has been in power in [[Sivaganga (Lok Sabha constituency)|Sivaganga constituency]], for past 25 years, lost according to the first counting, and won during the recount, barely winning his constituency.

Even though the opposition party failed to get more seats than the DMK and its allies, AIADMK, improved its tally to 9 seats, from winning no seats in 2004. But the opposition allies (PMK, MDMK and Left Parties), significantly lost seats compared to the 2004 election, when they allied with DMK. PMK especially lost all 6 of its seats that it got in the last Lok Sabha, coming out as the biggest loser of this election in Tamil Nadu.

24 Incumbents (7 ([[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|DMK]]), 8 ([[Indian National Congress|INC]]), 5 ([[Pattali Makkal Katchi|PMK]]), 1 ([[Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|MDMK]]), 1 ([[Communist Party of India (Marxist)|CPM]]) from the 2004 Lok Sabha election ran in this election, either for the same constituency, or a different constituency. Since the UPA and the Left Front swept the last election, all of the incumbents were either from UPA or Left Front. 15 of them are now currently running for the UPA, while the other 7 candidates, from PMK, MDMK and CPM, are running for the [[Third Front (India)|Third Front]].
