In the wake of the Congress-led United Democratic Front's 102-seat victory in the Kerala Assembly elections, a power struggle has emerged regarding the next Chief Minister. Supporters of V D Satheesan are vocally opposing AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal's candidacy, leading to aggressive protests. Local Congress workers have begun to intercept vehicles of newly elected MLAs who support Venugopal, demanding allegiance to Satheesan, whom they credit as a key architect of the UDF's success. Notably, newly elected MLA K.M. Abhijith was confronted by supporters at a wedding, assuring them that the party's leadership would make the right decision. The situation escalated further with posters appearing in Wayanad, warning the Congress leadership against imposing Venugopal, suggesting it could lead to electoral losses. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge is set to meet Rahul Gandhi to finalize the CM candidate, with a formal announcement anticipated to restore party unity and discipline.
