VD Satheeshan it is. The Congress’ Kerala Chief Minister suspense is over. The 61-year-old, former leader of opposition in the state assembly, is Congress’ pick, beating competition from KC Venugopal and Ramesh Chennithala.
The announcement comes 10 days after Congress-led United Democratic Front, or UDF, emerged the winner in Kerala polls. Pinarayi Vijayan-led Left Democractic Front, or LDF, missed out on a hat-trick of poll wins in the state.
