Tamil Nadu Election Exit Poll 2021: Analysis of 2016 Election result

In 2016, AIADMK managed to return to power despite of anti-incumbency and dissatisfaction. It managed to do this by winning 75% of the seats in the Kongu region (50 out of 66 seats) while giving a good fight in rest of semi-urban Tamil Nadu. 

Apart from the regional trend, AIADMK outperformed well amongst the following segments

– Scheduled Caste Seats

– Upper Castes

– Women

Amongst caste groups, the AIADMK performed well amongst its traditional backers – Gounders, Nadars and Thevars

Some experts have argued that the DMK struggled to match the AIADMK due to its inability to stitch the right coalition. This is true, the DMK on its own has crossed the 35% mark just once after 1977. The AIADMK on the other hand has crossed 35%, 5 times since 1977. So stitching the right alliance is far more critical for the DMK than AIADMK.
