DMK Treasurer and party MLA M.K. Stalin was once again unanimously elected as the organisation's legislature party leader on Tuesday.

Former Minister Durai Murgan was elected as the deputy leader at a party’s legislators meeting, which was presided over by party president M. Karunanidhi.

Party's whip R. Chakrapanai, elected from Ottanchathiram, will continue in the post and former Minister K. Pitchandi is the deputy whip.

Even after the 2011 Assembly elections, Mr. Karunanidhi stepped aside to make Mr. Stalin leader of the party in the Assembly. The wheel chair-bound leader used to say he was ready to attend the House if arrangements were made to pave the way for his entry.
