Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam will resign on May 22, paving way for AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa to be sworn in as state's CM the next day, party spokesperson C R Saraswathi said.

Jayalalitha resigned as the CM after she was convicted and sentenced to four years in jail by a Karnataka court in disproportionate assets case in September last year.

She was acquitted of all charges by Karnataka High Court on May 11.
