Despite producing shocking results for major political parties and their alliances, Virudhunagar district has set some interesting records.

K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran, a veteran politician since the days of M.G. Ramachandran, has won the Assembly election for a record 10th time. However, it was not a perfect victory as the ruling party lost the election badly and he himself had to scrape through with a thin margin.
