Kerala chief minister-designate V D Satheesan on Monday announced the list of ministers who will be sworn in as part of his new cabinet during the upcoming oath-taking ceremony. The announcement comes ahead of the formal swearing-in following the Congress-led alliance's victory in the Kerala assembly elections.
Key Congress Leaders in the Cabinet
Senior Congress leaders Ramesh Chennithala, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee chief Sunny Joseph, and K Muraleedharan are among the prominent names included in the ministry. Their inclusion reflects the party's strategy to balance experience and regional representation.
Assembly Speaker and Deputy Speaker Appointed
Satheesan also named Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan as the Speaker of the Kerala Assembly, while Shanimol Usman will serve as Deputy Speaker. Both appointments are seen as moves to ensure smooth legislative functioning.
IUML Gets Five Ministerial Posts
The Congress-led alliance's key ally, the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), has finalised five leaders for ministerial positions in the new government. This allocation underscores the coalition's commitment to power-sharing and maintaining alliance unity.
The new cabinet is set to officially assume office on Monday, with the oath-taking ceremony marking the formal transition of power. The announcement has generated significant political interest, as the cabinet composition will shape the state's governance for the coming term.
