Thiruvananthapuram: The All India Congress Committee (AICC) on Thursday announced a major reconstitution of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) under its new president, Sunny Joseph, unveiling a list of office bearers that includes 13 vice presidents and 58 general secretaries.

The AICC also expanded the KPCC’s political affairs committee by adding six new members, among them Kasaragod MP Rajmohan Unnithan. The others are V. K. Sreekandan, Dean Kuriakosen, besides three former MLAS - Pandalom Sudhakaran, A.K. Mani and C.P. Mohammed.

The new vice presidents are T. Sarathchandra Prasad, Hibi Eden, Palode Ravi, V. T. Balram, V.P. Sajindran, Mathew Kuzhalnadan, D. Sugathan, Ramya Haridas, M. Liju, A.A. Shukkoor, M. Vincent, Roy K. Paulose and Jaison Joseph. Notably, Sandeep Warrier, who quit the BJP during the Palakkad by-election last year, has been appointed a general secretary.

M. Liju has been elevated from the organisation's general secretary to vice president.

Palode Ravi, who had stepped down as Thiruvananthapuram DCC president, has also been appointed vice president.

D. Sugathan, known for his proximity to Vellappally Natesan, is among the new appointees.

V.A. Narayanan will serve as KPCC treasurer.

The AICC leadership released the list without naming secretaries, bringing clarity to long-pending organisational decisions.

Meanwhile, Maryapuram Sreekumar, G. Subodhanan and G.S. Babu have been removed from their posts.

N. Shaktan, in charge of the Thiruvananthapuram DCC and a vice president, has also been dropped.

The move, seen as a major organisational revamp, is expected to strengthen the state unit ahead of upcoming local body polls to be announced shortly and the assembly polls to be held in April/May next year.
