Dispute over president post ends UDF’s 40-year reign
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) seized power in the Naduvil panchayat after four decades despite the United Democratic Front (UDF) winning 11 of the 19 seats.
Differences between leaders over the president post led to the UDF losing power in the panchayat. Baby Ottampallil of the ‘I’ group in the Congress contested against Alex Chunayammakal, the official candidate belonging to the ‘A’ group.
The LDF backed Mr. Ottampallil, which helped it win power in the panchayat by 11 votes to eight. Seven members of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), three members of the ‘I’ group, and a Congress rebel voted for Mr. Ottampallil. The LDF came to power by 11 votes to eight.
