In a surprising turn of events, the national political scene witnessed an unexpected alliance as League leader Raheem officially joined the Congress party on November 24, 2025. This strategic move comes ahead of the upcoming state elections in Kerala, slated for December 2026.
Raheem, a prominent figure within the League, has been vocal about his discontent with the current political climate and his desire to bring about change. His decision to join the Congress party marks a significant shift in the political landscape of Kerala, where alliances are often delicate and strategic.
The State Election Commission has acknowledged Raheem’s application for membership and confirmed his entry into the Congress party. However, the specific roles he will play within the party have yet to be announced.
Anil Kumar Nochayyil, a senior Congress leader, expressed his delight over the alliance, stating, “We welcome Raheem into our ranks. His leadership and experience will undoubtedly strengthen our efforts in Kerala.”
This move is seen as an attempt by the Congress party to regain their position in Kerala, where they have faced significant challenges in recent years. The state has traditionally been a stronghold for leftist parties, but the Congress party has been making efforts to reclaim its lost ground.
Meanwhile, Ramya Kannan, a science writer at The View From India, commented on the potential impact of this alliance on the political discourse, stating, “This move could potentially shift the narrative in Kerala politics. Raheem’s influence and following could prove to be a game-changer.”
As the state elections draw closer, all eyes will be on the Congress party and their new ally, Raheem, as they strive to make an impact in Kerala. The View From India will continue to provide updates on this developing story.
