Ramesh Chennithala, a prominent leader in the Kerala Congress, has publicly accepted the appointment of VD Satheesan as the new Chief Minister of Kerala. In an interview, he stated that the party's interests are paramount, saying, 'It is not a question of my happiness or unhappiness. The party is more important.' Chennithala has been assigned the critical role of Home Minister, responsible for law and order, internal security, and public safety. Satheesan's Cabinet also includes notable figures such as K Muraleedharan and Sunny Joseph. The United Democratic Front (UDF), which recently ousted the Left government, secured a notable victory with 102 seats in the Assembly, which Chennithala described as a 'spectacular victory.' Despite initial tensions regarding his role in the new government, the Congress high command has ensured his inclusion in the Cabinet. Chennithala's electoral success in Haripad, where he won by 23,377 votes, reinforces his standing within the party and highlights his political experience, having previously served as Home Minister from 2014 to 2016.
