V D Satheesan to Be Sworn in as Keralam Chief Minister on May 18

The new Keralam government led by Congress leader V D Satheesan will be sworn in on Monday in Thiruvananthapuram. 

Congress had announced Satheesan as the next chief minister of Keralam on 14th of this month, putting an end to the high drama and suspense that lasted for ten days.

The Congress-led United Democratic Front secured a more-than-two-thirds majority in the Keralam Assembly elections. However, the alliance was unable to decide its chief ministerial face due to lobbying by different camps and protests by workers at the ground level.

Senior Congress leader V D Satheesan will be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Keralam on Monday morning. Twenty other Ministers will also be sworn in along with the Chief Minister. The Chief Minister-designate, V D Satheesan, visited Governor Rajendra Viswanath Arlerkar this evening and handed over the list of Ministers. Elaborate arrangements, including seating arrangements for 12,000 people, have been made at Central Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram.
