"Thalapathy Vijay, president of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, clearly outlined our party's political stance in his inaugural address on February 2. He has announced that the party's policies, principles, and programmes will be unveiled at the party's first state conference," the release said.
Hence, the party will engage in internal structural development and public outreach across Tamil Nadu in preparation for the 2026 Assembly elections. "Our primary objective is to contest and win the (2026) election to serve the people," it said.
"Therefore, we officially state that the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam will not contest any elections, including local body elections, in the interim period. The party will not participate in the Vikravandi Assembly by-election and will not support any party," it said.
AIADMK and DMDK have also announced that they will boycott the July 10 by-poll.
The DMK, PMK and Naam Tamilar Katchi have announced candidates for the by-election.
The by-poll was necessitated following the death of DMK legislator N Pugazhenthi in April this year.
