Kerala's Congress Legislature Party has authorised the AICC High Command to select the next Chief Minister, with AICC observers now meeting MLAs. Ramesh Chennithala, K.C. Venugopal, and V.D. Satheesan are the three names in active contention, each lobbying legislators for support.
Early trends in Kerala's assembly election show the Congress-led UDF crossing the 71-seat majority mark, putting it on course to unseat Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's LDF government. Final seat tallies will confirm whether the lead holds.
President Trump formally told Congress on Friday that hostilities with Iran have "terminated," invoking the language of the War Powers Resolution ahead of a key 60-day deadline. The declaration removes immediate legal pressure on the administration to seek congressional authorization for continued military action.
Assam Assembly election results will be declared on May 4, with counting at 40 centres across 35 districts deciding fates of 722 candidates from 126 seats. The outcome determines whether BJP wins a third straight term or Congress returns to power.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Congress does not need to vote on Trump's military actions toward Iran, arguing the U.S. is 'not at war.' The stance invokes a legal threshold under the War Powers Resolution, effectively blocking mandatory congressional oversight for now. The comments came as a key deadline in the U.S.-
The House is set to vote Thursday on a Senate-passed bill to reopen much of the Department of Homeland Security, ending a record 75-day partial government shutdown. Passage would restore normal operations and pay for affected federal workers across the agency.
Early exit polls for the 2026 Assam assembly election project a decisive BJP win, with the party expected to cross 100 seats. The Congress-led opposition is projected to win only 24-36 seats. These are survey projections and not official results.
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth faced Democratic lawmakers for the first time since the US entered a war with Iran, costing $25 billion so far.

U.S. Congress rejected a measure that would have softened American posture toward Iran, eliminating a near-term de-escalation path for oil markets. Traders who had priced in diplomatic progress are now repricing war risk into crude, with Iranian supply and Strait of Hormuz exposure back in focus.
Congress has temporarily extended Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, keeping warrantless incidental collection of US citizen data legally intact. The extension defers structural reform, maintaining compliance uncertainty for technology firms and civil liberties advocates. No timeline for a
Section 702, the surveillance law permitting warrantless collection of foreign communications, approaches an April expiration with Congress divided on reforms. A lapse would not immediately end surveillance given existing operational certifications, but would create legal uncertainty. Reform advocates seek to close
Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal, speaking in Lok Sabha, called for an all-party meeting on the Women's Reservation Bill and accused the government of using the legislation to advance delimitation. He noted that Prime Minister Modi did not address the word "delimitation" during his debate speech despite it
Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra demanded the government apply the Women's Reservation Act of 2023 to the current Lok Sabha strength, without waiting for delimitation. The move challenges the law's built-in activation condition and pressures the ruling coalition on women's representation ahead of future elections.
