The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) convened a meeting at the residence of its State president, Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal, in Panakkad near Malappuram, Kerala, to address the ongoing uncertainty regarding the Congress party's choice for the next Chief Minister. Despite the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) winning decisively in the April 9 Assembly elections, frustrations have mounted among IUML leaders over the delay in announcing the Chief Ministerial nominee. The party's leadership expressed concerns that this indecision is damaging the UDF's public image and momentum following their electoral success. Thangal will make further announcements once the Congress officially declares its nominee.
