== Background ==

In the [[2021 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|previous assembly elections]], The DMK won 133 constituencies on its own, receiving an [[Supermajority|absolute majority]] in the sixteenth Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, whereas its [[Secular Progressive Alliance|SPA]] alliance saw victory in a total of 159 constituencies. Meanwhile, the [[National Democratic Alliance|NDA]] alliance captured 75 constituencies, out of which the AIADMK had won 66. Other parties, alliances, and [[Independent politician|independent candidates]] did not secure any seats. After spending a decade as the [[opposition party]], the DMK won Tamil Nadu from the AIADMK, which reigned the state for two consecutive terms (2011-2021). After the victory, [[M. K. Stalin]] became the next [[List of chief ministers of Tamil Nadu|chief minister]] of the state. The AIADMK assumed the position of the opposition party at the sixteenth Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|title=Tamil Nadu Election Results 2021 Live: DMK leader Stalin to take oath as CM on May 7|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/tamil-nadu-election-result-2021-counting-live-news-updates-dmk-alliance-leads/liveblog/82349291.cms|access-date=2021-05-04|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.org/download/httpseci.gov.infilesfile13680-tamil-nadu-general-legislative-election-2021/10-%20Detailed%20Results.pdf |title=Detailed Result, Tamil Nadu Assembly Election 2021 |website=eci.gov.in}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=PMK aims to form TN government in 2026: Anbumani |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2023/jan/05/pmk-aims-to-form-tn-government-in-2026-anbumani-2534738.html |access-date=2023-04-10 |website=The New Indian Express}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-02-17 |title=NTK will contest alone in 2024 and 2026: Seeman |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/ntk-will-contest-alone-in-2024-and-2026-seeman/article65056500.ece |access-date=2023-04-10 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-02-27 |title=BJP will make big impact in Tamil Nadu in 2024, 2026 elections, says K.
