Actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has officially announced its full slate of candidates for all 30 constituencies in the upcoming Puducherry Legislative Assembly elections.

The party has chosen to contest independently, without forging any alliances, signaling its ambitious expansion beyond Tamil Nadu and positioning itself as a fresh alternative in the Union Territory's politics.

The announcement came on March 22, 2026, with Vijay releasing the candidate list amid the nomination window closing soon. Polling is set for a single phase on April 9, 2026, with vote counting and results on May 4, 2026.YouBella Jewellery Celebrity Inspired Crystal Floral Braclet Bracelet for Girls and Women (Gold) (YBBN_92304)

Out of the 30 candidates, only two are women: M.K. Sathya from Mangalam and R. Jayanthi from Kadirkamam in the Puducherry region.
