Kuzhalnadan defeats sitting MLA Eldho Abraham by a margin of 6,161 votes
Mathew Kuzhalnadan of the UDF walked away with the Muvattupuzha seat, confronting the pro-incumbency wave, the vote share of sitting MLA, Eldho Abraham of the LDF, and a robust candidate fielded by Twenty20, who had the potential to woo the traditional vote base of both the UDF and LDF. Mr. Kuzhalnadan, a doctorate holder in International Law and popular in news channel discussions, was trailing behind Mr. Abraham of the CPI, till Sunday noon. He swiftly caught up and won by a margin of 6,161 votes, garnering a total of 64,425 votes. Mr. Abraham won 58,264 votes, while lawyer and journalist C.N. Prakash, the candidate of Twenty20 came third with 13,535 votes. Both Mr. Kuzhalnadan and Mr. Prakash did an impressive ground-level campaign in their bid to wrest the seat from the LDF.
