Thiruvananthapuram : Over a month after V.M. Sudheeran quit suddenly as state party chief, the Congress in Kerala is all set to elect its new state president through the ballot.
The Congress party in Kerala is divided between the factions headed by former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala, with the former leading the majority faction.
Last month, Sudheeran quit on grounds of ill-health, raising eyebrows. The party then appointed senior most vice president M.M. Hassan as the interim president. Chandy, though he has been a legislator winning every election from Puthupally assembly constituency since 1970, is yet to hold any post in the party in the state.
