Secular Social Justice Victory Alliance

History

In March 2026, TVK and Neyam Makkal Kazhagam (NMK) contested the 2026 Puducherry Legislative Assembly election as part of an alliance led by TVK. Under the seat-sharing agreement, NMK was allotted two constituencies: Orleampeth and Thattanchavady.

In May, following a hung assembly in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election, TVK, led by Vijay, invited the Indian National Congress (INC), Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), Communist Party of India (Marxist), and Communist Party of India (CPI) to form the government.

On 6 May, the INC agreed to form an alliance with TVK, stating that the alliance would “bring back the legacy of K. Kamaraj, the social justice ideals of Periyar E. V. Ramasamy, and the constitutional principles of B. R. Ambedkar in Tamil Nadu.”

On 21 May, the IUML formally nominated sitting MLA A. M. Shahjahan for a cabinet position in the TVK-led government. This decision was announced by national president K. M. Kader Mohideen, signifying the party's departure from the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance. On the same day, the VCK, in coordination with the IUML, formally nominated sitting MLA Vanni Arasu for a cabinet position in the TVK-led government. This decision signifies the party's departure from the Secular Progressive Alliance. The Left parties subsequently declared that they were no longer part of the DMK alliance. On 9 September 2026, TVK-led front was formally named "Secular Social Justice Victory Alliance".
