MK Stalin says DMK MLAs will vote against Palaniswami
Earlier in the day, members of Palaniswamy's rival faction, led by O Paneerselvam met Speaker P Dhanapal.
The delegation, including three MLAs, however, did not speak to the media on the purpose of the meeting.
The Paneerselvam group has ten MLAs on its side.
Sasikala-loyalist Palaniswamy, who took oath as Chief Minister along with 30 other members of his ministerial council, was asked by, Governor C Vidyasagar Rao to prove his majority through a confidence vote on the floor of the House in the next 15 days.
Palaniswamy later announced that he will seek the vote of confidence at 11 am on Saturday.
