"The list includes all the five state ministers, five new faces and the remaining are all sitting legislators. The next list of the remaining four seats will be announced shortly," state Industries Minister P.K.Kunhalikutty told reporters here.

Five sitting legislators, who were not nominated, will be drafted into the party organisation.
