Chennai: Actor Vijay has officially declared that his political party, “Thamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam” (TVK), will participate in the 2026 assembly general election. He made it clear that his party will neither contest in the 2024 parliament general election nor support any party. Through the official announcement, he put an end to speculations about his political entry that have been on for the last few months.
In his capacity as the president of TVK, Vijay acknowledged the social service undertaken by the Vijay Makkal Iyakkam, the actor’s fan club. He emphasised the necessity of a political entity, stating that a voluntary organisation alone cannot bring about comprehensive social, economic, and political reforms; political power is essential.
Highlighting the current political scenario, the actor said, “Administrative malpractices and “corrupt political culture” on one hand, and “divisive political culture” which strives to divide our people into the lines of caste and religion, on the other hand, are posing challenges to our unity and progress.”
“It is a fact that everyone, especially in Tamil Nadu, is yearning for a fundamental political change that can lead to a selfless, transparent, caste-free, visionary, corruption-free efficient administration,” Vijay said, going into further detail about the expectations of the people of Tamil Nadu.
Above all, politics ought to be grounded in the deeply held belief that all people are created equal in Tamil Nadu.
He went on to say that only someone who has won the hearts and affections of the populace could be able to bring about such a profound political shift.

Providing insights about his political party, he said that on his behalf, steps were taken to register the Thamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam with ECI on Friday. He further added that earlier the party’s president and office bearers of party headquarters were elected during the general body and executive committee meeting and the body’s approval was received for the party’s by-laws as well.
He also said that his political journey of public meetings will commence after the completion of political party registration with ECI and the completion of the parliament general election.
Vijay stated that politics is not just another career move. He added that he has been preparing himself for politics for a long time by studying lessons from many people.
“Politics is not a hobby for me; That is my deepest desire. I want to fully involve myself in it,” he underscored and added that to ensure uninterrupted political works, he is going to complete the films he had committed to.
