The CPI has also decided to stick to the 75-year age limit it implemented in the last state conference. As per the age limit, prominent leaders including E Chandrasekharan and K R Chandramohan will be relieved from the state executive. In the state council also, around 20 sitting members will be replaced with new leaders.

Binoy Viswam was elected as the state secretary after the demise of Kanam Rajendran in December 2023.

In the district conferences, the leadership strictly implemented its instruction that the newly elected district council should include 30 percent of youngsters, below 40, and ensure 15 percent representation for women in all units. It is to be seen whether the party will implement the rule while constituting the state council too.
