The ruling AIADMK has scraped through in the Assembly elections with the narrowest of margins, just about 1 per cent. The AIADMK front secured 40.8 per cent, just one per cent ahead of the DMK alliance vote percentage of 39.7. If the AIADMK had not taken in minor allies who were allotted seven seats, the DMK front could have overtaken the AIADMK in terms of vote percentage and also number of seats.
