Despite a push by former AIADMK executives to unify the party, Edappadi Palaniswami (EPS) is opposing this move, driven by personal interests. The potential rejoining of O. Panneerselvam (OPS) remains uncertain, further complicating internal dynamics. The roles of Sasikala and TTV Dhinakaran are also pivotal as their influence and future involvement in AIADMK politics are debated. Veteran journalist Kumar suggests that AIADMK's next phase will be shaped by these internal power struggles, the navigation of personal ambitions, and the need for cohesive leadership to restore the party's political strength in Tamil Nadu.
