DMK announces sweeping overhaul, sets age caps to induct young blood
The principal opposition DMK unveiled a structural overhaul in its organisation on Saturday fixing strict age caps and limiting term for party posts following its electoral setback in the April 2026 Assembly election. The party's executive committee, which met at Anna Arivalayam - the DMK state headquarters - with its president M K Stalin in the chair, passed crucial resolutions to radically restructure the organisation setup. Under the new blueprint, the DMK will expand its organisational districts from 78 to 110, with each district broadly mapped across two Assembly constituencies to ensure localised administration. The standalone post of city secretary in major urban centers such as Coimbatore and Tambaram has been completely abolished. Instead, urban zones will be redrawn by voter density - Chennai Corporation Area Committees will average 40,000 voters, while other corporations will average 30,000 voters per committee.
