He emphasizes decisions should follow election outcomes with MLA and MP consultations. Muraleedharan expresses confidence in UDF's victory, sharing his views on CPI(M)'s challenges.

Senior Congress leader K Muraleedharan stated that he would reserve his opinion on the potential Chief Minister candidate until after the results of the Assembly election are announced on May 4.

Addressing reporters, Muraleedharan emphasized that there is ample time to make decisions about leadership once the outcome is clear, as the input from MLAs and MPs will be instrumental in selecting the parliamentary party leader.
