DMK Announces Organisational Overhaul with Age and Term Limits After Election Defeat
Following its April 2026 election defeat, the DMK announced a major organisational overhaul led by party president M.K. Stalin. The reforms include age caps ranging from 45 to 70 for various party posts, two- or three-term limits, and an expansion of organisational districts from 78 to 110. The party abolished certain urban posts and redrew zones based on voter density to enhance local administration. Stalin acknowledged internal shortcomings and emphasized revitalising the party with younger leadership and transparent processes to ensure long-term sustainability.
