Minority Analysis

Minority Voting Patterns

Historical loyalty trends, TVK disruption risk, and estimated 2026 vote split for Muslim, Christian, and SC/ST communities — collectively ~32% of Tamil Nadu's electorate. The model uses a demographic-driven pool split: TVK affinity = (youth%×0.65) + (minority%×0.35). High-minority seats route more anti-DMK protest vote to TVK.

Key Finding: TVK is estimated to draw 13–18 percentage points of minority vote away from DMK — primarily Christian and Muslim youth. This is the single largest threat to DMK's 2021 coalition. The VCK-DMK alliance partially protects SC/ST vote, but Christian-majority constituencies in Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari are highly vulnerable to TVK's identity appeal.
