Current Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK chief M. K. Stalin has suffered a surprising defeat in the Kolathur Assembly constituency, long considered his political stronghold. Stalin had consistently won the seat in the 2011, 2016, and 2021 elections.
This time, he was defeated by VS Babu, a candidate from Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, the party associated with actor-turned-politician Vijay and described as a close associate within the party setup.
VS Babu was earlier linked to the DMK and had served as Stalin’s election in-charge for the Kolathur constituency during the 2011 polls. He later left the DMK, joined the AIADMK, and eventually became part of TVK on February 7, 2026. Contesting on a TVK ticket this time, he secured a decisive victory over the incumbent Chief Minister.
