Pinarayi Vijayan has served as the chief minister of Kerala (now Keralam) twice (2016–21 and 2021–26). He first assumed office in 2016, after the Left Democratic Front (LDF) coalition won the Kerala legislative assembly election. He was reelected for a second consecutive term in 2021 following the LDF’s victory in the assembly election that year.
