Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief C Joseph Vijay has been elected as the party's legislative leader, following its victory in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

TVK won 108 seats, falling short of the 118 required to form the government, and will need support from either the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance or the AIADMK-led NDA to stake claim.

Vijay is set to meet Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar on Wednesday, and has expressed his commitment to prioritising the welfare of the people of Tamil Nadu.

In a social media post, Vijay thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi for their greetings, and vowed to focus on the state's progress and the wellbeing of its people.
