Kerala Assembly Elections 2026: Congress Releases Initial List of 55 Candidates; Decision Pending on MP Aspirants

K.C. Venugopal, the General Secretary of the Indian National Congress, has announced that the party will make a decision regarding the requests from Members of Parliament (MPs) to contest elections at a later date. The discussion centers around the candidacies of K. Sudhakaran and Adoor Prakash, who have expressed interest in contesting for the Kannur and Konni constituencies, respectively.

As of now, the Congress party has not officially announced candidates for these constituencies. The initial list of candidates for the upcoming elections includes 20 sitting Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) from the party.

The Congress party is currently engaged in strategic planning ahead of the elections, focusing on ensuring strong representation in key areas. The decision regarding the MPs candidacies will be crucial, as both Sudhakaran and Prakash have significant political experience, which could impact the partys performance in these constituencies. Further updates are expected as the party progresses with its candidate selection process.
