Kerala CM Race Sparks Social Media Battle Among Congress Supporters

The race to decide Kerala’s next Chief Minister has sparked intense debate across social media even before the Congress high command begins formal consultations. Supporters of senior leaders, including V. D. Satheesan, Ramesh Chennithala, and K. C. Venugopal, have launched strong online campaigns backing their preferred candidates.

Following the Congress-led UDF alliance’s return to power, social media platforms were flooded with discussions over leadership choices. Soon after Rahul Gandhi congratulated party workers on the victory, supporters of various leaders intensified their campaigns with posts, comments, and coordinated messaging.

Backers of Satheesan have projected him as a leading contender, while supporters of Chennithala and Venugopal have also amplified their claims through sustained online engagement. Political observers say the digital rivalry has quickly become one of the defining narratives in Kerala’s post-election political landscape.

Despite the online buzz and growing pressure, the final decision on the Chief Minister is expected to rest with the Congress leadership after consultations with senior leaders and elected representatives, underscoring the high-stakes nature of the leadership battle.
