Kerala Congress (Anti-merger Group) was a faction of Kerala Congress led by Skaria Thomas in Kerala. Kerala Congress (Anti-merger Group) was formerly a part of Left Democratic Front (LDF).
In April 2010 the Kerala Congress (M) and Kerala Congress (J) led by P. J. Joseph decided to merge. But P. C. Thomas opposed the merger. Both P. J. Joseph and P. C. Thomas claimed the party symbol of a bicycle and the party name of Kerala Congress. Registration of Kerala Congress has been frozen by the Election Commission. The case is under review.[2] The P. C. Thomas faction is known as the Kerala Congress (Anti-merger Group) with a chair for its symbol.
See main article: 2011 Kerala Legislative Assembly election. It participated in 2011 elections as a part of LDF. The Party was assigned three seats to contest but was unable to win.[3]
The party enjoys a strong presence in southern Kerala and is active in that region.
