Karunanidhi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam 118 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.11 May 2006 https://www.oneindia.com/2006/05/11/nine-tn-ministers-defeated-1147356415.html Nine TN Ministers defeated oneindia 11 May 2006 https://web.archive.org/web/20210628001631/https://www.oneindia.com/2006/05/11/nine-tn-ministers-defeated-1147356415.html 28 June 2021 13th Assembly was instituted due to this election. The election marked the electoral debut of the actor Vijayakanth and his political outfit, the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK). Though the party could only gain a single seat, it cut into the vote share of both DMK and AIADMK and emerged as a third alternative to the existing two Dravidian parties.

Political parties and the alliances Tamil Nadu has a remarkable history of being dominated by the local parties, DMK or AIADMK, while the national parties have a strong presence in other states. The parties have resorted to forming alliances in the last few elections to take on each sides for power. Striking changes in the alliances included the swap of Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) from DMK led Democratic Progressive Alliance to All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) led Democratic People Alliance. While Dalit Panthers of India joined the AIADMK alliance, all other major parties in the fray such as Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), Indian National Congress, CPM and Communist Party of India (CPI), aligned themselves with the DMK party. There were two notable new parties — Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) formed in September 2005 by actor-turned-politician Vijaykanth, and Lok Paritran formed by Indian Institutes of Technology graduates in February 2006. Both contested alone in this elections. The contest was between two major alliances in a seat-sharing agreement, the AIADMK alliance and the DMK alliance. These archrivals had a face-off in 106 seats. Exit Polls CNN-IBN-Hindu Exit Polls Article accessed 13 May 2006. predicted a 157-167 seats in favour of the DMK alliance, while the AIADMK alliance was expected to get 64-74 seats in the assembly. Before the 2009 Lok Sabha Elections, the Pattali Makkal Katchi left the DMK, citing differences with its leader M. Karunanidhi, and joined the AIADMK, and the Third Front.

Adjusted (Adj.) Vote %, reflects the % of votes the party received per constituency that they contested. Result Analysis The DMK and the AIADMK faced each other in 115 constituencies, with the DMK winning 81 seats and the AIADMK 34. The actor-turned politician Vijayakanth-led Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK), contesting separately, polled about 8.4% of the vote, and in 63 constituencies its vote share exceeded the margin of victory. Barring Vijayakanth, no other DMDK candidate won a seat. The party recorded double-digit vote shares in seven districts and narrowly fell short of 10% in Kancheepuram and Virudhunagar districts. A post-poll study by the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) found that fewer than 25% of supporters of Vijayakanth had backed the AIADMK in the 2004 Indian general election, while over two-thirds of those who voted for the DMDK in 2006 assembly elections had supported the DMK-led DPA alliance in 2004 Lok Sabha polls.https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/charting-the-remarkable-rise-and-fall-of-dmdk/article67684089.ece Charting the remarkable rise and fall of DMDK The Hindu 29 December 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20231229012147/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/charting-the-remarkable-rise-and-fall-of-dmdk/article67684089.ece 29 December 2023 29 December 2023 For the first time, Jayalalithaa-led AIADMK secured 7 of the 14 seats in the DMK stronghold of Chennai City, which even M.
