Congress announces major Kerala Pradesh committee reshuffle ahead of elections
The AICC announced a new Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee on Thursday, consisting of 13 vice presidents, 58 general secretaries, and an expanded Political Affairs Committee with six additional members. MPs Rajmohan Unnithan, V. K. Sreekandan, Dean Kuriakosen, and three former MLAs, Pandalom Sudhakaran, A.K. Mani, and C.P. Mohammed, were inducted into the Political Affairs Committee.
The new vice presidents include T. Sarathchandra Prasad, Hibi Eden, Palode Ravi, V. T. Balram, V.P. Sajindran, Mathew Kuzhalnadan, D. Sugathan, Ramya Haridas, M. Liju, A.A. Shukkoor, M. Vincent, Roy K. Paulose, and Jaison Joseph. Notably, Sandeep Warrier, who left the BJP during the Palakkad by-election, has been appointed a general secretary.
M. Liju was promoted from general secretary to vice president, and Palode Ravi, who stepped down as Thiruvananthapuram DCC president, was also appointed vice president. The AICC leadership also clarified long-pending organizational decisions by releasing the list without naming secretaries. Meanwhile, Maryapuram Sreekumar, G. Subodhanan, G.S. Babu, and N. Shaktan were removed from their posts.
This organizational overhaul is aimed at strengthening the party ahead of the upcoming local body and assembly elections.
