Interesting to see the process start so early for 2026. Shows the Congress is trying to be organized. But will internal factionalism in the Kerala unit allow for a smooth selection?

Wishing the committee all the best. They have a tough job balancing various communities and regions. Candidate selection can make or break their chances against the LDF.

With all due respect, these Delhi meetings often feel disconnected from ground reality in Kerala. Hope Mr. Mistry's committee does extensive local consultations before deciding. The "high command" culture needs to adapt.

Winnability should be the top criteria, no doubt. But they also need young faces who can connect with the new generation of voters. Time for some fresh blood! 💪

The 2026 election is still far off, but early preparation is smart politics. Curious to see if this leads to any major surprises in ticket distribution or if it's business as usual.
