On May 14, Kerala is poised to announce its new Chief Minister after the Congress party's decisive victory in the recent assembly elections. The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) will convene at the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram to finalize the leader. The party, which secured a more than two-thirds majority, has faced challenges in selecting its chief ministerial candidate due to internal lobbying and protests from party workers. Prominent figures such as K C Venugopal (AICC general secretary), V D Satheesan (Leader of Opposition in the outgoing assembly), and Ramesh Chennithala are among those being considered for the position. The decision comes after extensive discussions between Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, indicating a significant moment for the party in Kerala's political landscape.
