Kerala Congress

The Kerala Congress is a political party in Kerala, India.The Founder of the party is K M George, from Vazhakulam, Muvattupuzha.

The party has its roots in the Indian National Congress, from which it split in the 1960s. The party is traditionally dominated by the Christian minority in the state. The Kerala Congress party system is known for its commitment to the farmers and the rural agrarian sections. The main vote bank of the party is the farming community in Kottayam, Idukki and some other districts.

The Kerala Congress has suffered severe divisions and several parallel outfits have emerged, all claiming the name 'Kerala Congress'. Splinter-groups include Kerala Congress (Mani), Kerala Congress (Balakrishna Pillai), Kerala Congress (Jacob), and Kerala Congress (Secular). The group that has retained the official recognition by the Election Commission of India to the name is the grouping led by P.J. Joseph. Thus it is often called Kerala Congress (Joseph).
