The Congress party is facing a deadlock in finalizing its Chief Ministerial candidate for Kerala, prompting a third round of discussions in Delhi. The meeting will involve former Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee presidents, current working presidents, and senior leaders. The leadership aims to gather opinions from key figures within the party to build a consensus on the candidate. The main contenders for the position are Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal, Leader of Opposition in the Kerala Assembly VD Satheesan, and senior leader Ramesh Chennithala. This deliberation follows two previous meetings, including consultations with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and prominent leader Rahul Gandhi, who engaged with the three frontrunners. With the United Democratic Front (UDF) having secured a majority, the party is under pressure to finalize its Chief Ministerial face, making today's meeting pivotal for the future leadership in Kerala.
