Late-night talks, allies' backing: How Satheesan emerged as Kerala CM choice
In a dramatic turn of events, senior Congress leader VD Satheesan has emerged as the consensus choice for the Chief Minister of Kerala, following intense late-night talks with party leaders and allies. The decision was made possible after a meeting between Satheesan and Opposition Leader Ramesh Chennithala at Chennithala's residence in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday night. Sources close to the development claimed that the talks continued till 3 am, with several Congress leaders and key allies, including the IUML and the Kerala Congress (Mani), being consulted. The final decision was reportedly taken after a consensus was reached between the Congress, IUML, and Kerala Congress (Mani) leaders. The development comes in the wake of the resignation of Pinarayi Vijayan as the Chief Minister of Kerala, following the party's poor performance in the recent Assembly polls.

The IUML and Kerala Congress (Mani) have been key allies of the Congress in the state, and their backing was seen as crucial in Satheesan's emergence as the Chief Minister choice. The Congress had been struggling to come to terms with the loss of power in the state, and the decision to choose Satheesan as the leader is seen as an attempt to revive the party's fortunes. Satheesan, a seasoned politician with over three decades of experience, is known for his strong oratory skills and his ability to connect with the people.
