After 10 days of deliberations, Congress has appointed VD Satheesan as Kerala's next Chief Minister, choosing the popular MLA over KC Venugopal and Ramesh Chennithala, following a landslide UDF victory in the 2026 Assembly elections. In a move that concludes 10 days of intense deliberations, the Congress party has named VD Satheesan as the next Chief Minister of Kerala following the United Democratic Front (UDF)’s victory in the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections. Satheesan’s appointment ends the speculation that had centered on senior leaders KC Venugopal and Ramesh Chennithala. Despite Venugopal’s strong support among the newly elected MLAs, Satheesan’s massive popularity among the masses, coupled with his strategic role in the party’s victory, made him the choice for the top post. The Congress leadership in Kerala had earlier hinted at appointing Satheesan as the CM due to his leadership in revitalizing the party after its heavy defeat in the 2021 elections. As Leader of the Opposition, Satheesan has been widely credited with uniting the Opposition and presenting a strong challenge to the ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) government. His aggressive campaigning and alliance-building efforts played a crucial role in the UDF’s landslide victory, securing 102 seats. Venugopal, despite his backing among the majority of newly elected MLAs, accepted the high command’s decision graciously, emphasizing the party’s supremacy and reiterating his support for Satheesan. This smooth transition is seen as an attempt to quell factionalism within the Congress and present a united front ahead of the state’s political challenges. Satheesan’s journey in Kerala politics began with student activism, and he has been an integral part of the Congress for decades. As a six-time MLA from Paravur, Satheesan’s political career has been marked by his unwavering loyalty to the Congress and his ability to rally support even in challenging times. His rise within the party has positioned him as one of Kerala's most influential leaders, poised to steer the Congress-led UDF into a new era. The announcement of his appointment as CM comes after a wave of political tensions in the state, marked by the paper leak controversy in the NEET-UG 2026 exam and various issues surrounding the Left government. With Satheesan at the helm, Congress hopes to build on its recent success and make significant strides in addressing key governance concerns in Kerala.
