Hectic schedule on cards for ruling front, Opposition as nine-day Keralam Assembly session opens on October 12
The Kerala Legislative Assembly is set to convene for a nine-day session starting October 12, 2026, amidst political tension and legal challenges. Key agenda items include legislative business, a resolution regarding private universities, and debates over corruption allegations against the Opposition leader.
Why it matters
The session reflects the ongoing political volatility and legislative priorities in the Indian state of Kerala.
The new session of the Keralam Legislative Assembly will open on Monday (October 12, 2026) against the backdrop of the protests in Delhi seeking the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar and Friday’s High Court order on registering an FIR against Leader of the Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan in the CMRL-Exalogic pay-off case .
The nine-day second session of the 16th Assembly is meant for legislative business, but it is likely to be a stormy one as well given the heat faced by the United Democratic Front (UDF) government over power cuts, Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan ’s ‘sponsored’ flight charter and the alleged shortage of medicines in government hospitals.
