Palaniswami Seeks to Retain AIADMK Leadership Amid Internal Challenges
AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami is working to maintain control over the party ahead of the year-end general council meeting, following poor by-election results where the party fell to third place. The rise of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has challenged AIADMK's position, prompting internal dissent from senior leaders and a group of dissident MLAs seeking recognition as a separate faction. Palaniswami has responded with a reshuffle of district officials to consolidate support before the November 1 meeting.
