KOTTAYAM: Kerala Congress Working chairman P J Joseph has said senior leader C F Thomas will become Kerala Congress Chairman. “This will be announced after the court pronounces the verdict on a related case which is now sub judice. If Nisha Jose K Mani is made the candidate for the Pala by-election, we shall accept it,” Joseph said after a meeting of leaders of Kerala high power committee who favour Joseph.

PJ Joseph said more 15 members of the 27-member committee took part in the meeting. Besides Joseph, C F Thomas MLA and Joy Abraham were present for the meeting.

This is for the first time that Joseph loyalists are meeting after the group under Jose K Mani called a State committee meeting. Meanwhile, Jose K Mani said that leaders should learn the constitution of Kerala Congress.

“Posts like Acting Chairman and Working Chairman are ‘unconstitutional’. There is also no interim chairman. Kerala Congress will move forward. Let the election commission decide which is the real party,” Jose K Mani said.
