September 22, 2017 16:45

The Election Commission was today informed about the merger of the two factions of the AIADMK and the resolutions adopted at its general council meeting, including on the ouster of interim general secretary V K Sasikala, the party said today.

An AIDMK delegation met the Commission and countered the claims of the rebel camp led by Sasikala and her nephew TTV Dinakaran that the resolutions were invalid.

"The EC has been informed that the two factions headed by O Panneerselvam and Edappadi Palaniswami have merged to protect Amma's legacy, to respect sentiments of party cadres and for good governance," senior party leader K P Munusamy said.

The party also informed the EC about resolutions adopted in the general council meeting on September 12 on removing Sasikala and invalidating all appointments made by her, including of her nephew Dinakaran as deputy general secretary.
