Kerala’s oath-taking ceremony for the new United Democratic Front (UDF) government takes place today, with VD Satheesan set to be sworn in, according to NDTV and The Hindu. Both outlets report that Satheesan is taking the oath as part of the government’s formation after a period away from power, described by NDTV as the UDF returning after about a decade.

In addition to Satheesan, The Hindu says the UDF Cabinet members are also sworn in during the same ceremony. NDTV similarly frames the event as the Cabinet oath ceremony, indicating that multiple ministers are to take office alongside the chief minister designate.

The reports are presented as live updates from the ceremony, indicating that the swearing-in process is underway on the day of publication. While the sources emphasize the leadership role of Satheesan and the simultaneous oath-taking of the Cabinet, they do not provide further policy details or named minister lists in the excerpts provided.
