The stage is set for a potentially intense and high-stakes power struggle within the Congress party in Kerala, as factions within the party begin to promote their respective loyalists for the upcoming post of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president. This development comes in the wake of the current KPCC president, Sunny Joseph, MLA, joining the Kerala government, making his continued tenure as the KPCC president untenable due to the All India Congress Committee's (AICC) "one-man-one-post-stricture." This rule prevents individuals from holding multiple key positions within the party.
