In a decisive move, the Karnataka Congress Legislative Party (CLP) has elected DK Shivakumar as its new leader, paving the way for his appointment as Chief Minister. The election took place during a meeting held at Vidhana Soudha, where outgoing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah proposed Shivakumar's name, which was seconded by Dr. G Parameshwar and received unanimous support from the party members. AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal announced the election, confirming that Shivakumar is set to take the oath of office. The ceremony is anticipated to occur on June 3, although Shivakumar hinted at a possible date of the third of June. Siddaramaiah stepped down from his role on May 28, describing his resignation as voluntary and in line with the party's high command's advice. As the Congress government in Karnataka has completed three years, discussions regarding the new ministry's formation are currently underway, marking a significant transition in the state's political landscape.
