The DMK chief will keep the Home Ministry among the other portfolios with him.
In a battle against the AIADMK-BJP alliance, the DMK won 159 of 234 seats, restoring the southern state's tradition of altering governments between the two major political parties.
The AIADMK-BJP alliance won only 75 seats.
