Kukku Parameswaran has been elected as the general secretary of AMMA, while Unni Sivapal is the new treasurer of the association.
Jayan Cherthala, Nasser Latif and Lakshmipriya were contesting for the vice president’s post, while Anoop Chandran and Unni Shivapal were in the fray for the post of treasurer.
The voting took place at Kochi Marriott Hotel from 10 am to 1 pm on Friday.
