Overview

  • Palode Ravi resigned after a secretly recorded call predicting a third-place finish in local polls and a poor showing in the 2026 assembly elections was aired.
  • Vamanapuram block general secretary A. Jaleel was expelled for leaking the conversation and engaging in anti-organisational activities.
  • Senior Congress leader N. Sakthan has assumed interim charge of the Thiruvananthapuram District Congress Committee to stabilise leadership.
  • The KPCC has deployed experienced campaign coordinators in Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and Kozhikode to mobilise grassroots support ahead of December’s local body elections.
  • These measures aim to reinforce party discipline, project unity and strengthen the organisational network as competition intensifies with the LDF and BJP.
