Senior Congress leader K. Muraleedharan stated that the Congress high command is set to announce the next Chief Minister of Kerala within the next day. This decision follows the Congress-led United Democratic Front’s strong victory in the recent Assembly elections. Supporters of leaders like V.D. Satheesan, Ramesh Chennithala, and K.C. Venugopal have been actively campaigning for their preferred candidate.
Muraleedharan mentioned that the decision regarding the Chief Minister position is expected imminently. Despite visible campaigns in support of different leaders, he emphasized that the final choice rests with the Congress high command. The opinions of newly elected MLAs and coalition partners will be considered before the official announcement is made.
Flex boards and posters backing various leaders have surfaced in different parts of Kerala, advocating for their preferred candidate. Muraleedharan clarified that these displays will not sway the decision-making process. He expressed confidence that once the leadership decision is made, the party will unite behind the chosen Chief Minister.
