The result was a victory for the Democratic Progressive Alliance, which included the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) and its allies the Left Front which won all 39 seats in the state. DMK and its allies were also able to hold on to Pondicherry, which has 1 seat, which allowed the UPA to win all 40 seats in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. The 2 larger partners Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) (16) and Indian National Congress (INC) (10) won the majority of seats, with the junior partners Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) (5) and Marumaralarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) (4) winning the rest. The remaining 4 seats were won by the Left Front parties. Due to the support of the Left Front for the government at the centre, all 39 seats in Tamil Nadu, supported the formation of the UPA-led government. thumb|Long queue of female voters at a polling booth in Madurai of Tamil Nadu on May 10, 2004|170x170px The DPA was formed, because DMK, PMK and MDMK, left the NDA mostly on the Ayodhya issue and created an alliance that supported the UPA. The NDA paid a price for it, when their BJP-AIADMK alliance could not even win a seat in this state.http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/2004/05/07/stories/2004050711380400.htm The Hindu : Tamil Nadu News : Ayodhya one reason for quitting NDA, says Karunanidhi 20 July 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20070913124508/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/2004/05/07/stories/2004050711380400.htm 13 September 2007 usurped Schedule EventDate Date for Nominations 16 April 2004 Last Date for filing Nominations 23 April 2004 Date for scrutiny of nominations 24 April 2004 Last date for withdrawal of candidatures 26 April 2004 Date of poll 10 May 2004 Date of counting 13 May 2004 Seat allotments Democratic Progressive Alliance colspan="6" Secular Progressive Alliance Democratic Progressive Alliance Party Flag Symbol Leader Seats Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam 50px50px M.
