The AIADMK experienced losses in several key constituencies.
**Post-Election Scenario:**
The DMK is poised to form the government with M.K. Stalin expected to continue as Chief Minister. The election results indicate a strong endorsement of the DMK’s policies and leadership.

The role of smaller allies will be important in the new government’s formation and functioning.
