IIE DIGITAL DESK ; Kolkata | June 23, 2026 : The ruling Trinamool Congress, party supremo Mamata Banerjee has taken a decisive step to assert control over the party’s organisational structure by officially submitting the latest list of the party’s national working committee to the Election Commission of India.

The updated list of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) national executive committee was formally submitted to the Election Commission on Monday. The move comes at a time when internal factional tensions, reportedly involving “rebels” within the party, have intensified over leadership and organisational control.

The submitted list reflects a restructured 24-member national committee, which was reportedly reorganised on June 20. In the official communication, Mamata Banerjee has been reaffirmed as the Chairperson of the All India Trinamool Congress, signalling the party’s attempt to reinforce its established leadership framework amid ongoing internal disputes.

Party insiders suggest that the submission is aimed at legally and administratively consolidating the current leadership structure of the Trinamool Congress, especially in light of competing claims emerging from within the organisation.

The development comes on the same day when a separate faction within the party, referred to as “rebels,” reportedly announced a parallel national working committee excluding Mamata Banerjee from leadership roles. This parallel move has added a new dimension to the ongoing power struggle within the party, raising questions about internal unity and organisational authority.

The Election Commission submission is seen as a formal effort by the Trinamool Congress leadership to establish official recognition of its restructured committee and prevent any ambiguity regarding the party’s legitimate governing body.

Political observers note that such internal disputes reflect deeper organisational challenges within the party, as competing groups attempt to assert influence over decision-making structures. However, the official submission to the Election Commission is expected to strengthen Mamata Banerjee’s position as the undisputed leader of the party in the eyes of regulatory authorities.

The All India Trinamool Congress, a major political force in West Bengal, has often witnessed internal disagreements, but the emergence of parallel committees has intensified speculation about factionalism. The current development is being closely watched by political analysts as it could have implications for the party’s organisational stability ahead of future electoral battles.

With the Election Commission now in possession of the updated list, attention will turn to how the party’s internal dynamics evolve and whether the competing claims within the organisation lead to further escalation or eventual reconciliation.

The submission of the official committee list stands as a clear assertion by Mamata Banerjee and her faction to maintain formal control over the party’s structure amid an unfolding internal power struggle.
