Coimbatore South, Constituency no 120, is a politically high-voltage urban seat where elections are decided by minority consolidation, trader sentiment, urban governance performance, and ideological polarisation management.

While 22 MLAs from the AIADMK camp led by Edappadi K Palaniswami voted against the government, 25 MLAs from the rebel CV Shanmugam faction backed Vijay. Four Pattali Makkal Katchi MLAs and one BJP legislator abstained from voting.
