Overview
- M. K. Stalin has publicly named a 10‑member Party Reorganisation Advisory Panel led by senior leaders including Thangam Thennarasu, Geetha Jeevan, R. Sakkarapani and S. S. Sivasankar.
- The panel follows an internal review that sent two‑member teams to every Assembly constituency and collected roughly six lakh online opinions that were processed using AI to produce a report for Stalin to review.
- The committee’s remit covers redrawing party district boundaries, reorganising affiliated wings and committees, creating a permanent election management setup, and establishing a party think tank.
- The panel is to submit formal recommendations by the first week of August, and any changes will be debated with the DMK high‑level committee and district secretaries before implementation; no structural changes have been made yet.
- The drive aims to rebuild the party after its recent Assembly defeat by professionalising campaign work and strengthening grassroots links, and observers should watch whether the proposals shift power at the district level and create a standing election team.
