Elevation of  Stalin and Durai Murugan has become a foregone conclusion after their names were proposed by all the 65 district Secretaries. None other than the two have filed their nominations for the posts. 

Party General Secretary K Anbazhagan is slated to formally declare both of them elected unopposed at the General Council meeting.
