Pinarayi Vijayan’s political career timeline
Pinarayi Vijayan, the 12th Chief Minister of Kerala, is facing scrutiny as he prepares for the 2026 Assembly elections. His journey from a humble background to leading the Left Democratic Front (LDF) has been marked by significant political milestones and challenges. From his early days in Kannur to becoming the longest-serving State secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Vijayan's career has been shaped by both triumphs and controversies, including navigating turbulent periods like the 2018 floods and the Sabarimala women's entry controversy. The upcoming election will determine whether he can maintain his grip on power or if his decade-long tenure has created an incumbency weight that even his strategic acumen cannot lift.
