K. Kunhammad wrests constituency back with a majority of 333 votes
Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate K. Kunhammad has captured the Kuttiyadi Assembly constituency with a thin victory margin of 333 votes from sitting MLA and United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate Parakkal Abdulla. Mr. Kunhammad won 80,143 votes after a close fight with the sitting MLA. Mr. Abdulla secured 79,810 votes. It was one of the key constituencies in the State where the LDF took into account the sentiments of ground-level party workers for shortlisting candidates. The sacrifice made by the Kerala Congress (M) by giving up its allotted seat for the Communist Party of India (Marxist) nominee was also found contributing to the Left front’s victory.
