New Delhi: The Samajwadi Party will hold its parliamentary board meeting on Wednesday to decide its chief ministerial candidate.

"The parliamentary board of the party will meet on Wednesday at 11 am during which name of the party chief ministerial candidate will be decided," party spokesman Ram Gopal Yadav said.

The Samajwadi Party got an absolute majority in the state and would form the next government.

When asked about an alliance with Congress, Yadav said that SP would continue support to the UPA government.

Mulayam Singh Yadav would be the next CM of Uttar Pradesh, party leader Shivpal Singh Yadav said in reply to a question.

"There is no dispute on the post. Mulayam will be the next CM," he said.

However, there are speculations that Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav is likely to nominate his son Akhilesh as the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh after the party stormed to power in the state with a stunning majority.
