Actor-turned-politician, Vijay is set for a big win in Tamil Nadu Assembly Election 2026. Actor Vijay's new party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is leading in over 100 seats and the AIADMK-led alliance leading in over 71 seats. The ruling DMK in alliance with Congress and DMDK has taken a third spot with lead in over 50 seats.

In West Bengal, where people voted for 294 seats, it is a battle between the Trinamool Congress helmed by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP has crossed the half mark and is leading in over 199 seats, according to early trends. Mamata Banerjee's part on the other hand is leading in over 88 seats.

The election holds importance for two reasons - first, Bengal has long avoided the BJP. And second, Mamata Banerjee has waged a war against the Election Commission over the voter roll clean-up exercise Special Intensive Revision (SIR) that removed 89 lakh voters -  roughly 11.6 per cent of the state's electorate. The figure is slightly more than the winning margin of the Trinamool Congress in 2021.

Trends released by the Election Commission of India show the Congress leading in 24 seats in Kerala and winning 39 so far. The CPI(M) is ahead in seven seats with 19 wins recorded, while the CPI is leading in three constituencies with five wins recorded. The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) is ahead in 13 seats and has secured nine wins. The BJP is leading in two and secured one seat.
