Hung Assembly Analysis

Neither SPA nor NDA is projected to reach the 118-seat majority threshold in this scenario. TVK's 9 certain seats make them the decisive kingmaker — both SPA and NDA would need TVK support to form a stable government.

SPA Coalition Path
Needs 29 more seats. TVK support + toss-up sweep required.
NDA Coalition Path
Needs 35 more seats. Toss-up sweep or TVK support required.
