In Kerala, the UDF is maneuvering to finalize its new ministry under CM-designate V D Satheesan. Political meetings are happening rapidly to settle on ministerial positions and resolve tensions within the Congress and its allies. Key figures, including Ramesh Chennithala, are at the center of discussions to determine their roles.

In Kerala's capital, political fervor reached new heights on Saturday as UDF leaders embarked on a series of crucial meetings to finalize the ministerial positions within the new Cabinet led by CM-designate V D Satheesan, set for inauguration on May 18.

Held primarily at the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee headquarters, discussions focused intensely on portfolio allocation and securing consensus among alliance members.
