The poll was necessitated by the demise of Jayalalithaa in December last year.

AIADMK deputy general secretary, TTV Dinakaran, made the announcement in a party release, which was issued with the “approval” of Sasikala.

The parliamentary board has been reconstituted with Sasikala as it chairperson, Dinakaran said. Dinakaran was among those appointed as one of the members.

The others in the reconstituted board include AIADMK presidium chairman and school education minister KA Sengotayan and former minister P Valarmathi.

The previous parliamentary board headed by Jayalalithaa included expelled party leader and former chief minister O Panneerselvam and his aide E Madusudanan.
