AIADMK factions reconciled as rebel MLAs led by former minister S P Velumani met party chief Edappadi K Palaniswami, expressing support. About 13 legislators joined Velumani, though former minister C Ve Shanmugam, who had advocated backing the TVK government, was absent. Subsequently, Velumani and supporters, including former minister C Vijayabaskar, met Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker J C D Prabhakar, submitting a letter to function as a unified party, with Vijayabaskar withdrawing his request to be recognized as party whip.
