Just days ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly election results, multiple exit polls have predicted a landslide victory for the DMK in the state. The Republic-CNX exit poll, P-Marq, C-Voter and India Today-Axis polls have all predicted upwards of 160 out of 234 seats for the DMK, which has been in the opposition for 10 years now. The AIADMK, meanwhile, is expected to get between 40 and 70 seats and the third front has been reduced to a possibility of one to six seats.
DMK party chief MK Stalin’s ambition to sit on the Chief Minister’s seat in Tamil Nadu may finally bear fruit if one goes by numbers presented in this exit poll. The India Today-Axis has predicted that DMK will win 175-195 seats, while AIADMK will only manage to secure between 38 and 54 seats. The AMMK meanwhile is expected to win about one to two seats while the MNM too is predicted to win between zero to two seats. DMK’s vote share is projected to be 48%, AIADMK’s 35%, AMMK 3% and MNM 4%. Other parties meanwhile are expected to secure 0-3 seats. The pollsters however predict that NTK is likely to get as much as 8% of the vote share.
