DMK likely to increase district units to over 100 as part of organisational revamp
Sources said the committee constituted by party president M.K. Stalin to revamp the organisation and infuse fresh energy into its structure had submitted its interim report
The DMK party is contemplating a significant organizational overhaul, aiming to increase the number of district units to more than 100, as part of its strategy to infuse fresh energy and modernize its structure. Currently, the party operates within 78 district units. The leadership is particularly interested in providing prominent roles to younger leaders and is contemplating the implementation of age limits for district secretaries.
To prevent any undue influence, there are also discussions around setting fixed tenures for these positions. This proposed revamp is the result of a committee led by party president M.K. Stalin, which has submitted an interim report. The party’s executive committee is scheduled to convene on August 22 to deliberate on the committee's recommendations.
The committee, comprising esteemed members such as Thangam Thennarasu, Geetha Jeevan, R. Sakkarapani, S.S. Sivasankar, and Tamilarasi Ravikumar, among others, has emphasized the need to bring in new blood and ensure wider representation to enhance the party's effectiveness. Once the recommendations are incorporated into the party constitution, the proposed changes will come into effect.
