AMMA Felicitates CM-Designate VD Satheesan

Members of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) met Kerala Chief Minister-designate VD Satheesan at his residence on Saturday morning, days after the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) secured a decisive victory in the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections.

The meeting took place outside Satheesan's official residence as the senior Congress leader prepared to leave for his scheduled engagements. Visuals from the venue showed crowded scenes of greetings as members of the Malayalam film fraternity welcomed Satheesan with garlands and presented him with a ceremonial shawl and a trophy.

UDF Ends LDF's Decade-Long Rule

The interaction comes at a politically important moment in Kerala, with the UDF ending the Left Democratic Front's (LDF) decade-long tenure in power.

Satheesan was announced as the leader of the Congress-led alliance on May 14 and is scheduled to take oath as Kerala's Chief Minister on May 18.

The Congress-led UDF secured a decisive mandate in the 140-member Keralam Assembly, winning 102 seats and ending the Left Democratic Front (LDF)'s decade-long rule in the state. Satheesan served as the Leader of the Opposition in the Keralam Legislative Assembly since 2021 and emerged as one of the prominent faces of the UDF campaign against the outgoing Left government.
