Indian Union Muslim League (abbreviated as the IUML or Muslim League) is a political party primarily based in Kerala. It is recognised as a State Party in Kerala by the Election Commission of India.^[6]

After the Partition of India, the first Council of the Indian segment of the All-India Muslim League was held on 10 March 1948 at the south Indian city of Madras (now Chennai).^[7] The party renamed itself as the 'Indian Union Muslim League' and adopted a new constitution on 1 September 1951.^[7]

IUML is a major member of the opposition United Democratic Front, the INC-led pre-poll state level alliance in Kerala.^[8]^[9] Whenever the United Democratic Front rules in Kerala, the party leaders are chosen as important Cabinet Ministers. The party has always had a constant, albeit small, presence in the Indian Parliament.^[8] The party is a part of the INDIA in national level.^[8] The League first gained a ministry (Minister of State for External Affairs) in Indian Government in 2004.^[10]

The party currently has five members in Parliament - E. T. Mohammed Basheer, M. P. Abdussamad Samadani and Kani K. Navas in the Lok Sabha and P. V. Abdul Wahab and Adv. Haris Beeran^[11] in the Rajya Sabha - and fifteen members in Kerala State Legislative Assembly.
