UDF's Triumphant Return: V D Satheesan to Lead Kerala

A decade after being ousted, the United Democratic Front (UDF) is set to form Kerala's new government, led by Congress leader V D Satheesan. The swearing-in ceremony will take place on Monday at the Central Stadium, where a massive stage and seating for thousands are being arranged.

The Congress-led alliance secured a decisive victory in recent Assembly elections, unseating the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF). The city of Thiruvananthapuram is gearing up with tight security and special traffic management for the anticipated influx of VIPs and UDF supporters.

Satheesan, credited with rejuvenating the party's grassroots, will take charge with a full Cabinet of 20 ministers. High-profile guests, including national political figures and neighboring state leaders, are expected to attend the momentous event.
