Key Winners
DMK’s Dominance
Tamil Nadu’s DMK and its partners have achieved a remarkable victory by securing all 39 seats in the state. This is a considerable improvement from the last election in 2019, where the party managed to win only 24 seats. The DMK’s success can be credited to its robust organizational framework and the widespread popularity of its leader, M. K. Stalin.
Congress Performance
The Indian National Congress has secured 9 seats in the state, significantly improving from the 8 seats it won in the 2019 elections. The party’s performance in key constituencies like Cuddalore, Kancheepuram, and Tiruvallur has been notable.
Key Losers
BJP’s Disappointment
The BJP, which was expected to make significant inroads in the state, has failed to win a single seat. Despite its efforts to expand its base, the party’s vote share has remained stagnant, and it could not translate its popularity into electoral success.
AIADMK’s Decline
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), the state’s ruling party until recently, has seen a significant decline in its performance. The party won only 1 seat in the 2019 elections and has failed to improve its performance in the 2024 elections.
Conclusion
The 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu have seen the DMK emerge victorious, with the party winning all 39 seats. The BJP’s failure to win a single seat is a significant disappointment, while the AIADMK’s decline reflects the party’s waning popularity. The Congress has performed relatively well, securing 9 seats. The results highlight the DMK’s strong organizational structure and leadership, which has enabled the party to dominate the state’s electoral landscape.
