MM Hassan will be the UDF convener. The appointment follows the resignation of Benny Behman. Benny Behanan resigned as UDF convener on September 27.
Following the release of the results of the parliamentary elections, there was a demand in the Congress that Benny Bahnan should step down as convener.
Group A leaders have suggested that MM Hassan should take over as convener as Benny Bahnan has won as a Member of Parliament. Meanwhile, news spread that Benny Behanan was getting close to the I Group. It was after this that Benny Bahnan announced his resignation.
