VD Satheesan finalises Kerala Cabinet, submits minister list to governor ahead of swearing-in

Thiruvananthapuram After two days of discussions and deliberations, UDF on Sunday finalised its list of Cabinet ministers, with CM-designate VD Satheesan reaching the Lok Bhavan to submit it to Kerala governor.

Earlier, Satheesan had said that full Cabinet, comprising 20 ministers and the CM, would be sworn in on Monday.

It was on May 14 that the All India Congress Committee announced Satheesan as the leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) and the next chief minister of Kerala, ending days of suspense over the party's leadership decision.


Discussions on the Cabinet began on Friday and continued through multiple rounds of meetings between Congress leaders and alliance partners before the list was finalised on Sunday evening.
