Vijay Files Revised Nominations After Discrepancies in Perambur and Tiruchi East
Kranthi Shekar - APR 6, 2026

Revised Papers Submitted to Correct Errors
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay submitted a revised set of nomination papers for the Perambur and Tiruchi East constituencies after discrepancies were noticed in his earlier filings for the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The move came ahead of scrutiny by election officials, prompting the actor-turned-politician to update his affidavits and ensure accuracy in the documents.
The discrepancies reportedly involved differences in information provided in the nominations filed for the two constituencies. In the initial affidavit submitted for Perambur, certain details were either incomplete or inconsistent when compared with the nomination filed later for Tiruchi East. These variations raised questions during the verification process.
Differences in Declarations Triggered Correction
The inconsistencies were mainly related to declarations such as pending legal cases and other personal details that must be disclosed in election affidavits. After the issue came to light, Vijay submitted revised documents correcting the information and aligning both nominations.
The updated filing included additional disclosures and clarifications to avoid complications during scrutiny. Election rules require candidates to provide uniform and accurate information in all nominations, making such corrections necessary.
Contesting From Two Constituencies
Vijay is contesting from both Perambur in Chennai and Tiruchi East, marking his electoral debut in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. His decision to contest from two constituencies has drawn significant political attention, as he aims to strengthen his party’s presence across different regions of the State.
The nominations from both constituencies attracted strong support from party workers and fans, reflecting the growing political interest surrounding Vijay’s entry into electoral politics.
Focus on Smooth Scrutiny Process
By filing revised nominations, Vijay’s team aimed to prevent any risk of rejection during the scrutiny stage. Election officials review candidate documents carefully, and even minor discrepancies can lead to complications if not corrected in time.
The revised submission is expected to clear procedural hurdles and allow Vijay to proceed with campaigning without further issues.
Political Debut Draws Attention
Vijay’s participation in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections has generated considerable interest, with his party contesting independently. As the campaign intensifies, all eyes remain on his performance in both constituencies, which are expected to witness closely watched contests.
