Rebel Trinamool Congress MLAs removed party founder and former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from the chairperson position at a meeting in Kolkata on June 22, 2026. Arup Roy, former Minister, was unanimously elected as the new chairperson. The rebel faction also appointed several other officials, including Sandipan Saha, Jawed Khan, and Ritabrata Banerjee as general secretaries. Kunal Ghosh, a loyalist of Mamata Banerjee, criticized the move, calling it a "comical" attempt to undermine her leadership. The rebellion began after the 2026 Assembly election, with several MLAs supporting Ritabrata Banerjee as the Leader of the Opposition.
