Senior Congress leader and current Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar was formally elected as the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader in Karnataka, clearing the way for his swearing-in as the state’s next Chief Minister. The leadership transition follows Siddaramaiah’s resignation after months of political speculation within the party. Congress leaders described the change as part of a planned power-sharing arrangement aimed at maintaining stability in the state government. Shivakumar is expected to take oath in Bengaluru in the coming days, while discussions on cabinet formation and key ministerial positions continue within the party leadership. (PC: PTI)
