Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala, a Chief Minister hopeful, on Wednesday (May 6, 2026) said social media campaigns and putting up of flexboards will not be the deciding factors for selecting the Chief Minister of Kerala.

Mr. Chennithala made the remark in response to reporters queries in Delhi on the intense social media campaign in favour of V.D. Satheesan as Chief Minister on the grounds that the latter had led the UDF poll campaign from the front.
