00:00The unexpected loss of MIC Vice President Tee Mohan in the party leadership elections

00:09has put his political future in limbo as he was in line to become deputy head at the next

00:14party polls, according to party insiders.

00:18The two-term senator's shock defeat after holding several senior positions in the party

00:22for 30 years has set tongues wagging, with insiders saying he was not on party president

00:28SA Vigneswaran's official list.

00:32M. Asojan and T. Murugia defended their positions as MIC vice presidents, while newcomer R.

00:38Nelson edged out Mohan by 58 votes for the third slot in the 2024-2027 leadership term.

00:46Mohan had been vice president since 2018, MIC youth leader in 2008, a Central Working

00:52Committee member for several terms, and a senator from 2017-2022.

00:58A source said Mohan was initially rumored to be going for the deputy president's post

01:03against incumbent M. Saravanan, but changed his mind after a deal was brokered with the

01:08party leadership to maintain status quo at the top.

01:12Despite this, the source claimed that the party leadership has been trying to push Mohan

01:16out, fearing his strong grassroots support could see him become the next deputy president.

01:23Another source claimed the party suspended branches aligned with Mohan, which meant delegates

01:28from these branches were not able to vote.
