IUML leaders say Satheesan has earned the right to lead the UDF, citing his strong opposition role and efforts to rebuild the front after the 2021 defeat.
Congress sources also pointed out that amidst this emerging trend, a section outside the Congress has also come out in support of certain leaders, indicating broader alignments.
Describing the delay as a matter of concern, the Opposition leader stressed that timely publication of election data is essential to uphold transparency and public confidence in the electoral process.
Satheesan has raised the stakes himself. Quite dramatically so. He has promised to quit and go on “vanavaas” if he fails to deliver a “sparkling win” for the Congress-led UDF.
