KC(M) serves notice on the municipal secretary to convene a council meeting as 18 of the 26 councillors have publicly withdrawn confidence in the chairperson. The party may consider supporting a new administration led by Congress rebel Maya Rahul.
Rather than precipitating a fresh political battle through a no-confidence motion against the chairperson, the party is expected to bide its time until the Congress arrives at a politically workable formula
The Congress’s mandalam committee unanimously supports its councillors’ decision to withdraw support to the independent collective, and the resolution has been sent to the DCC and KPCC for approval.
