Anwar Sadath scores a hat-trick in Aluva, while Roji M. John tastes his second consecutive win in Angamaly
Aluva and Angamaly stood with the Congress once again amid the Left wave in the State.
A traditional citadel of the Congress, Aluva witnessed the hat-trick win of Anwar Sadath after he defeated Shelna Nishad of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) by a margin of 18,886 votes.
His maiden win was in 2011 when he defeated A.M. Yousuf of the CPI(M) by a margin of 13,214 votes. In 2016, Mr. Sadath had improved his overall lead to 18,835 votes against V. Saleem of the CPI(M).

The Angamaly Assembly segment has shown no permanent leniency to any particular political front even though the United Democratic Front (UDF) enjoyed an edge over the Left Democratic Front (LDF) for the last five-and-a-half decades.
The constituency had earned a name for giving candidates of both the fronts multiple chances to represent it in the Legislative Assembly. It was A.P. Kurien of the CPI(M) who kick-started the trend after he remained unbeaten for four consecutive terms since 1967.
