Tamil Nadu election results to be announced

Tamil Nadu will be announcing the results of its assembly elections that concluded last week, with exit polls showing a likely defeat for the ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), which is led by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, 68.
