Kerala CM Announcement LIVE Updates: "Stand By High Command Decision:" KC Venugopal On Kerala Pick

Kerala Chief Minister Announcement Live Updates: The Congress on Thursday named VD Satheesan as the next chief minister of Kerala, ending days of suspense and speculation over the matter.

The decision was announced at a press conference by AICC in-charge of Kerala Deepa Dasmunshi and the party’s central observers for the state Ajay Maken and Mukul Wasnik.

The three main contenders for the post of chief minister were Satheesan, KC Venugopal and Ramesh Chennithala.

Meawhile,Venugopal on Thursday accepted the party decision to select VD Satheesan as the chief minister of Kerala and congratulated him.

Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Venugopal said he will provide all support to the Chief Minister and the UDF government in Kerala.

The Congress-led UDF secured a more than two-thirds majority in the Kerala Assembly elections, but the party has been unable to decide its chief ministerial face due to lobbying by different camps and protests by workers at the ground level.

The announcement came a day after former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi met Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for about 40 minutes, after which the Congress stated that all deliberations and discussions by the high command are complete.
