The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) is on the verge of finalizing its new cabinet, with a swearing-in ceremony for Chief Minister-designate VD Satheesan set for Monday. Reports indicate that the Congress party is expected to receive 12 ministerial berths, including the Chief Minister's position. The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), a crucial ally, is anticipated to secure five berths, while other coalition partners such as the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), Kerala Congress (Joseph), and Kerala Congress (Jacob) are likely to receive one berth each. Congress leader Shafi Parambil stated that the cabinet list would be available shortly, emphasizing the new government's commitment to meeting public expectations after a decade in opposition. The IUML's PMA Salam confirmed that the final list of ministers would be submitted to the Governor before 4 PM on Sunday, paving the way for an official announcement. The UDF's recent electoral success, winning 102 seats in the 140-member Kerala Assembly, has ended the Left Democratic Front's ten-year rule, setting the stage for a new political landscape in the state.
