Senior CPM leader Pinarayi Vijayan was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Kerala for a second time on Thursday. He was sworn in by Governor Arif Khan at Thiruvananthapuram’s Central Stadium in a brief ceremony conducted under COVID-19 protocols.

“Took the oaths of office and secrecy, as the Chief Minister of Kerala. Together, let us realise a people’s alternative, and build a Nava Keralam!” Mr Vijayan tweeted after administering the oath.

The CM will head an all-new 20-member cabinet. Of which 12 are from the CPM and four from the CPI. The new administration has 3 women – Dr R Bindu, Veena George and Chinchu Rani – one more than the previous term and a record number for any Kerala government. As per reports, 75% of the new cabinet are first-time ministers and 10 are first-time MLAs.
