PIL filed in Madras HC to restrain EC from recognising election of EPS, OPS to top AIADMK posts

A writ petition has been filed in the Madras High Court to restrain the Election Commission from recognising the election of O Panneerselvam and Edappadi K Palaniswami to AIADMK top posts.

A writ petition has been filed in the Madras High Court to restrain the Election Commission (EC) from recognising the election process in AIADMK, in which O Panneerselvam and Edappadi K Palaniswami were elected as party coordinator and joint coordinator unopposed.

The petition, moved by AIADMK party member J Jayachandran, sought an interim injunction from the EC recognising the election, claiming that bylaws were changed recently to make sure that the two former chief ministers of Tamil Nadu stick to their position in AIADMK.
