Shivakumar. The party is considering various candidates, including Satish Jarkiholi, and will prioritize a dynamic leader with strong organizational skills. The appointment of Deputy Chief Ministers and the Bengaluru Development portfolio are also being discussed, creating complications due to the emergence of K.H.
