R Sabarinathan, at 30, has emerged victorious in the Virugambakkam assembly constituency elections, securing 27,086 votes for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). This election outcome, based on the latest figures from the Election Commission, highlights a major win in the political landscape of Tamil Nadu.

Sabarinathan attributed his success to Vijay, the renowned actor-politician, underlining his gratitude for ending the DMK's dominance. His emotional display at a rally, which went viral, had previously captured public attention, marking him as a candidate to watch.

His father, Rajendran, has served as Vijay's driver and personal assistant since the actor's debut, reinforcing ties that have evidently paid off in this significant electoral win. Virugambakkam, part of Chennai district, has seen a considerable shift as it has changed political allegiances among different parties over the last five state elections.
