Kerala Congress (M) Affirms Loyalty to LDF Amid UDF Alliance Speculation

Speculation about Kerala Congress (M) rejoining the United Democratic Front (UDF) ahead of Kerala's Assembly elections has been met with cautious responses. While UDF leaders hint at possible new entrants, including parties from rival fronts, Kerala Congress (M) chairman Jose K. Mani firmly rejected alliance shift rumors, affirming the party's commitment to the Left Democratic Front (LDF). Other Kerala Congress factions within UDF express conditional openness but emphasize careful seat-sharing negotiations, especially in central Travancore.
