Arya Rajendran, the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) councilor from Mudavanmugal in Thiruvananthapuram was sworn in as the new Mayor of the city corporation. She is just 21 years old.

Arya, who is a B.Sc Mathematics second year student at the All Saints College here, told media that she will continue with her studies along with handling the responsibilities as the City Mayor.

In Kollam, Prassanna Earnest of the CPM was sworn in as the Mayor. This is her second stint as the Mayor of Kollam. After the swearing in she told the media that her ambition is to make Kollam the state's best city corporation.
 
M. Anilkumar of the CPM was sworn in as the Mayor of Ernakulam corporation, which can be considered as the richest corporation of the state. The Left Front wrested the corporation from the United Democratic Front (UDF), and the teething issues of stagnant water after rains, congested roads, waste deployment will be a major challenge for the new Mayor. It may be noted that Ernakulam corporation had got adverse remarks from the Honourable high court of Kerala over clogging of water during rains.
 
In Thrissur, Left Democratic Front (LDF) and CPM sprang a surprise by swearing in the rebel Congress leader V.K. Varghese as the Mayor.

Varghese will be Mayor for a two-year tenure and then a CPM leader will take over for the remaining three years.

In Kannur, the lone corporation where Congress got the Mayor post, party leader T.O. Mohanan was sworn in as the Mayor. Mohanan said that he will strive to make Kannur, the handloom capital of the country.
