The counting for Tamil Nadu Asswembly Election 2021 started at 8 AM on Sunday (May 2). The election is set to witness a tight contest between the ruling AIADMK which is in alliance with BJP and MK Stalin-led DMK which fought the election in alliance with Congress.
The initial trends are showing that DMK is heading towards a victory but the trends are only for postal ballots and they can always. The 234-member Tamil Nadu assembly needs a party to have a majority mark of 118 to emerge a winner. On the other hand, the counting for bye-election to the Kanyakumari Lok Sabha seat held on April 6 is also being done today.
Several exit polls have predicted a comfortable victory for DMK which is looking to return to the power after a decade and dethrone the ruling AIADMK. Earlier, it was announced by Tamil Nadu government that complete lockdown will be there on counting day but movement/transport of officials, political party functionaries, counting agents, and others will be allowed.
