Following the subsiding of the Chief Minister change debate in Karnataka, a new internal struggle has emerged for the KPCC President post. Minister Satish Jarkiholi is a top contender but is reportedly unhappy with the high command's 'one person, one post' rule. His supporters point to D.K. Shivakumar holding dual roles as a precedent for him to retain his ministerial portfolio while leading the party. Other senior leaders like G. Parameshwara and Eshwar Khandre are also in the race as the high command seeks an internal balance. https://www.kannadaprabha.com/karnataka/2026/May/29/now-congress-braces-for-kpcc-succession-tussle #creator program
