Ahead of TVK chief Vijay’s visit, a look at Salem district’s voting pattern

Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) founder Vijay is planning to visit Salem on Friday, February 13, 2026. The ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) have historically dominated the district's Assembly elections, with the AIADMK securing a majority in most constituencies. However, recent trends suggest that the AIADMK may face challenges from the TVK, which claims to have support across Salem. While the DMK and its allies are aiming to retain their lead, the TVK hopes to capitalize on voter sentiment among women and younger generations.
