Political Context, Seat Bargaining & Legislative Impact (2016)

In 2016, J. Jayalalithaa made history by securing consecutive re-election as Chief Ministerโ€”a feat accomplished for the first time in Tamil Nadu since MGR in 1984. Rejecting major party alliances, Jayalalithaa fielded candidates in all 234 constituencies directly under the AIADMK Two Leaves symbol, accommodating small allies (MMK-Tamimun Ansari, Mukkulathor Pulipadai, RPI) on the Two Leaves. AIADMK won 134 seats with 40.78% of the popular vote, defeating the DMK-Congress alliance.
