TAMIL NADU STATE ASSEMBLY ELECTION, 2006

The 'Tamil Nadu state assembly election of 2006', conducted alongside a batch of state assembly elections in 2006, took place on May 8, 2006 in 234 constituencies in Tamil Nadu, India. The elections were conducted to elect the government in the state of Tamil Nadu for the next five years. The votes were counted three days later on May 11, 2006 and, thanks to the electronic voting machines, all the results were out by the end of the day. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led front won the elections and its leader, M Karunanidhi was sworn in as Chief Minister. He is serving his fifth term.
The previous government formed by AIADMK led by J. Jayalalithaa completed its full five year term in office since it was voted to power in 2001. 51659 polling stations were set up for electorate, that sized up to 46,603,827 eligible voters.

Political Parties and the Alliances

Tamil Nadu has a remarkable history of being dominated by the local parties, DMK or AIADMK, while the national parties have a strong presence in other states. The parties have resorted to forming alliances in the last few elections to take on each sides for power.
Striking changes in the alliances included the swap of MDMK from DMK led Democratic Progressive Alliance to AIADMK led alliance. While Dalit Panthers of India joined the AIADMK alliance, all other major parties in the fray such as PMK, Congress, CPIM and CPI, aligned themselves with the DMK party.
There were two notable new parties — DMDK formed in September 2005 by actor-turned-politician Vijaykanth, and Lok Paritran formed by Indian Institutes of Technology graduates in February 2006. Both contested alone in this elections.
The contest was between two major alliances in a seat-sharing agreement, the AIADMK alliance and the DMK alliance. These arch rivals had a face-off in 106 seats.
Exit Polls ^[1] predicted a 157-167 seats in favour of the DMK alliance, while the AIADMK alliance was expected to get 64-74 seats in the assembly.

Voting and Results

The 2006 Tamil Nadu State Elections saw a record voter turnout of 70.70% a 11% increase compared to the last 2001 elections and the highest since the 1991 elections which saw a 85% voter turnout. The ruling party AIADMK was voted out of power with the DMK alliance regaining power after losing out in the previous elections with a paltry 37 seats. This time however, no party reached the simple majority of 117 of the 234 seats. DMK grabbed the highest number of seats (96) for any contesting party, while AIADMK followed with 61 seats. The Congress won 34 seats while the other national party BJP drew blank after contesting alone in this elections. PMK managed to win 18 seats followed by the Communists (14 seats). MDMK, the party that jumped alliance won 6 seats and the DPI won 2 seats. DMDK, even while contesting in 232 seats managed to score just one seat, with the party leader actor vijayakant winning the seat he contested in Vridhachalam Constituency. There was 1 independent winner.^{[2] [3]}
The split results paved way for the formation of the new coalition government led by DMK chief, the 82-year old veteran politician Dr.M Karunanidhi, becoming the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for the fifth time, with the Congress unconditionally supporting his claim for Chief Ministership and government formation.
