Kerala Legislative Assembly's structure, as its second session nears

Background

As the 16th Kerala Legislative Assembly prepares for its second session starting October 12, 2026, its basic structure remains the standing framework for the state's legislature. Kerala has a unicameral legislature, meaning it has only one House, the Legislative Assembly, unlike a few Indian states that retain a Legislative Council. The Assembly is headquartered at the Niyamasabha Mandiram in Thiruvananthapuram. Sessions such as the upcoming one are convened by the Governor and conducted under rules framed by the House itself.
