Sasikala loyalist Palaniswami is all set to be the new Chief Minister as Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao invited him today form government.
The 31-member state cabinet will be sworn-in at 4.30 PM.
Among others, Palaniswami will hold portfolios of Home and Finance, besides Public Works, Highways and Minor Ports, which he had managed as a minister in the Jayalalithaa and Panneerselvam cabinets, sources said.
K A Sengottaiyan, recently elevated as AIADMK Presidium Chairman following the sacking of E Madhusudanan, also made his comeback into the AIADMK cabinet.
