Congress Legislature Party Authorises High Command to Pick Next Kerala CM; AICC Observers Meet MLAs
AICC observers are recording the views of 63 legislators and alliance partners before the High Command decides among three contenders.
- On Thursday, the Congress Legislative Party met in Thiruvananthapuram and passed a resolution authorizing the All India Congress Committee High Command to choose the next Chief Minister of Kerala.
- Picking a leader has proven challenging, as Opposition leader Satheesan, AICC general secretary Venugopal, and former Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala remain in contention for the post after the Assembly election.
- AICC observers Mukul Wasnik and Ajay Maken are conducting one-on-one meetings with the 63 Congress MLAs at Indira Bhavan to record their preferences for the next Chief Minister.
- The Indian Union Muslim League, the Congress-led United Democratic Front's most important ally, has backed Satheesan, creating friction within the party's state unit among other factions.
- This leadership contest is uniquely complex because Venugopal, a national-level AICC figure, is among the contenders, unlike past internal struggles typically limited to state-level leaders like Karunakaran.
