2006 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election
Indian election
Summary
The thirteenth legislative assembly election, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu was held on 8 May 2006. It was held for all 234 constituencies to elect the government in the state for the following five years. The votes were counted three days later on 11 May 2006 and all the results were out by the end of the day. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led (DMK) front won the elections, with the DMK emerging as the single-largest party with 96 seats, and its leader, M. Karunanidhi was sworn in as Chief Minister for a fifth and final term. This election marked the first time the state saw a hung assembly with no party gaining a majority of its own. As a result, DMK formed a minority government with its allies, which is the first in the state since the 1952 election. 9 ministers from the outgoing Jayalalithaa cabinet were defeated in their respective constituencies. 13th Assembly was instituted due to this election.
