Seatwise Result Map of the 2024 general election in Tamil Nadu

The 2024 Indian general election was held in Tamil Nadu on 19 April to elect 39 members of the 18th Lok Sabha.[1] The election results were announced on 4 June 2024.[2][3]

The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), led by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in the state and the Indian National Congress (INC) nationally, secured all the 39 seats—a second consecutive "sweeping" win for the alliance after the 2019 elections. The opposing National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the federal ruling party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), lost all the seats again. Whereas the Main opposition party in the state All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), lost the one seat (Theni) they had won when they were part of the NDA in the 2019.

## Background

[edit]

DMK is part of Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, which was formed on 18 July 2023. On 25 September 2023, AIADMK withdrew from the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance to form and lead the new alliance, AIADMK+.[4][5][6]

On 19 January 2024, DMK constituted a seven-member committee to hold consultations with alliance partners for seat sharing.[7] On 22 January, AIADMK set up a 5-member committee to hold seat sharing talks with alliance partners.[8][9] On 26 January, CPI(M) formed a four membered panel for seat sharing with DMK. Central committee members P. Sampath, P. Shanmugam and state committee members N. Gunasekaran and K. Kanagaraj were included in the panel. [10] On February 5, Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance held seat sharing talks with Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam.[11]

On 19 March 2024 the Bharatiya Janata Party finalised seat sharing a with the Pattali Makkal Katchi as part of the National Democratic Alliance, were the party will contest 10 seats in Tamil Nadu.[12]

On 20 March 2024, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami released the first list, comprising 16 candidates contesting the election. The Party finalised seat sharing and allotted one seat each to its allies SDPI, PT and five Seats to DMDK.[13] On March 21, Palaniswami released the second and final list, comprising 16 AIADMK candidates contesting the election.[14]
