The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) on Monday made Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) its leader as interim general secretary and expelled former chief minister O Panneerselvam (OPS), ending a dual power structure in Tamil Nadu’s main Opposition party that lost power in 2021.

A meeting of AIADMK’s general council, which has more than 2,500 members, in Chennai expelled OPS from its primary membership and as treasurer for allegedly working against the party. OPS rejected the council’s decision and announced expelling EPS instead. OPS said his camp would approach the courts against the general council meeting.

The AIADMK has 66 MLAs
