Former Minister Arumugam Thondaman's son Jeevan Thondaman has been appointed the General Secretary of the Ceylon Workers Congress (CWC).

The political bureau of the CWC has made the final decision on the appointment. Anusha Sivaraj, who held the General Secretary post previously, has been appointed a Vice Chairperson of the party.

However, no one has so far been appointed the Chairman of the party.
