Will Trisha Contest from Vijay’s Vacant Seat?

Amid the ongoing buzz surrounding the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026, actor-politician Vijay contested from two constituencies—Tiruchy East and Perambur—under his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. If he secures victory in both seats, he will be required to vacate one, as per election rules. This has triggered widespread speculation over who might contest the ensuing by-election from the vacant constituency.
Reports suggest that Vijay’s father, S. A. Chandrasekhar, or actress Trisha Krishnan could be considered as potential candidates. The speculation gained further traction after Trisha recently met Vijay at his residence, coinciding with his political momentum. While no official confirmation has been made, the developments have sparked intense discussion across political and entertainment circles.
