UDF sweeps local body bypolls in Ernakulam
The Hindu
LDF manages to keep only one of four sitting seats
The United Democratic Front (UDF) swept all but one of the bypolls held to one municipal division and three panchayat wards in Ernakulam district of Kerala on Wednesday. It may impact power equations in at least two local bodies. UDF candidate Sini Joy wrested back Division 5 of the Piravom Municipality, beating Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate Anju Mohan by 205 votes, thus jeopardising LDF rule, as both the fronts are now tied at 13 seats each. The bypoll in the municipal division was held after elected LDF councillor Mini Sajan of the JD(S) resigned on getting a government job. The outcome of polls to be held in Division 14 of the municipality that fell vacant following the death of another LDF councillor George Narekkadan will now prove decisive in deciding the ruling front.
