DMK party elections see most office-bearers re-elected

The Hindu  

Published : Oct 20, 2022 10:35 IST In the recently concluded elections in the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, the ruling party in Tamil Nadu, most of those who already held the posts at different rungs in the party were re-elected unanimously, thus preserving the status quo even as the party seeks to build on its gains. Stalin, who is also Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu since May 2021, took over the party’s reins in 2018 after the demise of his father and DMK president, M. Karunanidhi. In the 2019 Lok Sabha election and the 2021 Assembly election, both of which the party fought after he first took over as president, the DMK, along with its allies, scored impressive victories. Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, the women’s wing secretary and three-time Member of Parliament who was drafted into the party in 2007, has been elevated as one of the five deputy general secretaries. With party elections out of the way, Stalin believes that it is time to deliver on the remaining promises made to the people in the 2021 DMK manifesto.
