LDF unable to move resolution owing to lack of quorum in council meeting
The no-confidence motion by the Opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) against the ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) in Thrikkakara Municipality in Ernakulam district of Kerala failed due to lack of quorum in the council meeting on Thursday.
The Opposition could not succeed in moving the resolution, as only 18 councillors in the Opposition turned up for the meeting, while 25 in the 43-member council of the UDF, including five from the front constituent Muslim League, stayed away.
The LDF required the support of 22 councillors in passing the motion against Municipal Chairperson Ajitha Thankappan. An LDF councillor who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 turned up in PPE kit to ensure that the Opposition camp had full attendance. The LDF said it would bring another no-confidence motion after six months if the Congress failed to remove Ms. Thankappan from the post.
