The Election Commission of India (ECI) has intervened in the Trinamool Congress (TMC) party-control dispute by seeking responses from both the Mamata Banerjee faction and the Ritabrata Banerjee faction. According to reports, the EC requests explanations regarding competing claims connected to TMC organisational elections and the authorisation of signatories. The Commission has asked both sides to submit their responses by a set deadline of July 6. One report specifies the timing as 5:30 PM on Monday, July 6. The EC’s action follows the factions’ disagreement over who holds control of the party’s organisation and who is authorised to act on its behalf, particularly in relation to elections and related documentation. After the responses are filed, the Commission is expected to review the claims and determine how to proceed with the dispute. The matter is being handled through the EC’s process, which involves giving parties an opportunity to present their positions before any further decisions are made.
