Kerala's 16th Legislative Assembly's swearing-in ceremony showcased diversity as MLAs chose different languages and opted for solemn affirmations or oaths in God's name. Political rivals displayed camaraderie, and CM V.D. Satheesan reiterated his full name, addressing recent caste-related criticism. A symbolic gesture of reconciliation occurred between Pro-tem Speaker G. Sudhakaran and Pinarayi Vijayan.

After intense deliberations, VD Satheesan has been chosen as Kerala's new Chief Minister, overcoming strong contenders KC Venugopal and Ramesh Chennithala. Key factors included alliance support, grassroots sentiment, and Satheesan's vocal opposition to the incumbent government, making him the preferred choice for a stable UDF administration.

With the LDF's victory in Kerala, the race for Chief Minister heats up. A leaked list, shared by the BJP, suggests K C Venugopal might be favored by a majority of Congress MLAs. However, one MLA claims his preference was omitted, raising questions about the consultation process. V D Satheesan and Ramesh Chennithala are also contenders.
