The delegation is scheduled to meet Chief around noon on the "recent developments in the AIADMK," they added.

The Panneerselvam faction has already challenged before the EC Sasikala's appointment as AIADMK general secretary in December following her predecessor J Jayalalithaa's demise.

The Commission had issued notice to Sasikala, serving a jail term in connection with a Rs 66 crore disproportionate assets case and she had sent her response last week.

Panneerselvam had revolted against Sasikala on February 7, saying he was forced to make way for her elevation as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu following her election as AIADMK Legislature Party leader earlier.

She had later expelled him and some of his supporters from the AIADMK.
