In a statement, Sasikala said that she was leading the AIADMK and added that all issues in the party would be settled before the 2024 general elections.
Late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa's aide also said that she was working on unifying the AIADMK.
The AIADMK is currently in a leadership tussle after the interim general secretary, Edappadi K. Palansiwami (EPS) and former coordinator O. Panneerselvam (OPS) engaged in a bitter power struggle.
Both the leaders were former Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu and OPS was ousted from the party during the AIADMK general council meeting in July 2022.
