Overview

  • Mohanlal, speaking to Asianet News, said he faced heavy criticism but maintained he stepped down when he felt it was time to end his tenure.
  • He described the move as part of a natural transition rather than a defeat and invited former members who left over disagreements to return.
  • He previously served two consecutive terms from 2018 to 2024 and, though expected to continue through 2027, chose not to contest this year.
  • Following his August 2024 resignation and broader criticism tied to the Hema Committee findings, the prior AMMA committee was dissolved.
  • AMMA’s August 2025 election installed Shwetha Menon as its first woman president, with a 17-member executive featuring eight women and Cuckoo Parameswaran as general secretary.
