Udhayanidhi Stalin - the son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and the state's Sports Minister - is set to be promoted to the Deputy Chief Minister's post, sources told NDTV Wednesday, indicating that a formal announcement is expected from Governor RN Ravi's office later this evening.
Speculation over Udhayanidhi Stalin's promotion has been doing the rounds for the past few months; in August senior party sources told NDTV the party is considering the step as part of prepping for the 2026 Assembly election and to strengthen its second-rung leadership.
