What makes the contest fascinating in the Aroor Assembly constituency is its sheer unpredictability.
Aroor was considered a citadel of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] till the 2019 Assembly bypoll when United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate Shanimol Usman of the Congress wrested the seat from the Left Democratic Front (LDF) by defeating Manu C. Pulickal of the CPI(M) by a margin of 2,079 votes.
A few months prior to the byelection, the LDF had the first signs of trouble in Aroor. A.M. Ariff, then MLA, who won from the Alappuzha Parliament constituency in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls by defeating Ms. Usman, however, trailed in the Assembly segment. In the bypoll, Ms. Usman, carrying on the momentum, bagged Aroor for the UDF after a gap of 13 years.
