Congress likely to announce Kerala CM candidate tomorrow

The Congress party is expected to announce its chief ministerial candidate for Kerala as early as tomorrow, according to sources. The party is moving quickly towards a decision, with an aim to avoid any further political unrest or protest within the party.

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to hold a series of meetings with all former Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) presidents. Party insiders say the final decision will be taken after



these consultations are completed.

Among the names being discussed, KC Venugopal is still seen as the leading contender for the chief minister?s post. However, the party has not officially confirmed any name so far.

Other names making the rounds for the top post include V D Satheesan and Ramesh Chennithala.

Sources also indicate that, if everything goes as planned, the swearing-in ceremony could take place on May 14.
