About KEC

The Kerala Congress was founded on 9 October 1964 by K.M. George, R. Balakrishna Pillai, Mathachan Kuruvinakunnel, Mannathu Padmanabha Pillai and Vayala Idiculla as a breakaway regional party representing central Kerala's Christian and Nair farming communities. Over subsequent decades the party splintered into numerous factions (Kerala Congress (M), Kerala Congress (B), Kerala Congress (J) and others), most of which have periodically realigned between the Congress-led UDF and the Left Democratic Front. The main Kerala Congress faction under P.J. Joseph has remained a steady UDF constituent, holding the Kottayam Lok Sabha seat in 2024.
