Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, approaching 81 years old, finds himself at a critical point in his political journey. He made history as Kerala’s first Chief Minister to secure two consecutive terms, but now encounters a more complex landscape where authority, longevity, and voter weariness converge.
In a unique turn of events, Vijayan assumed office in 2016 after his rival and senior leader V.S. Achuthanandan led the Left Democratic Front’s campaign. Despite this, Vijayan swiftly rose to power, overshadowing the veteran leader.
Leveraging his extensive experience as CPI(M) state secretary, Vijayan gained unprecedented control over both the party and the government, shifting the traditional power dynamics in Kerala politics.
