The Supreme Court verdict on the disproportionate assets case convicting Sasikala and sending her to Bengaluru jail for 4 years, eliminated her from the running for the post of Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, for which she was competing against acting TN CM O Panneerselvam.

The AIADMK party backing Sasikala, selected Edappadi K Palanisamy as Legislature Party Leader and their nomination for Chief Minsiter post.
