AT its last state conference in 2022, the CPM charted a new course in its organisational structure. Determined to infuse young blood into its leadership, in an unprecedented manner, eight new faces were inducted into the state secretariat last time. With the 24th state conference set to begin in Kollam on Thursday, the CPM is set to carry forward the move, with fresh faces all set to make their way to the leadership.

Of the 17-member state secretariat, three leaders - A K Balan, P K Sreemathy and Anavoor Nagappan - are set to cross the upper age limit. LSGD minister M B Rajesh is almost certain to find a place in the secretariat, replacing Balan.
