AFTER the resignation of Rahul Mamkootathil from the post of Youth Congress state president, the national leadership has started looking for a new president to replace him. Five names are under active consideration of the Youth Congress national leadership. They are national general secretary Binu Chulliyil, state vice-presidents Abin Varkey, O J Janeesh, former KSU state president K M Abhijith and Congress leader J S Akhil. Of these, Akhil's name had been proposed by late CM Oommen Chandy for the post of state president earlier. However, Rahul's name was pushed by Shafi Parambil and V D Satheesan, and he got elected then.
