VD Satheesan has been officially appointed as the Chief Minister of Kerala after a Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting in Thiruvananthapuram. His selection comes after the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) won 102 out of 140 seats in the recent Assembly elections, marking a significant political mandate. The decision was reached after intensive discussions among senior Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, amid competing claims from various factions within the party. Supporters celebrated in Aluva as Satheesan prepared for his new role, reflecting confidence in his leadership. His rise is seen as a generational shift, with Satheesan known for his aggressive opposition to the ruling Left government.
