Controversial businessman Karat Faisal won the seat as Independent
The CPI(M) Kozhikode district committee will look into the defeat of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) nominee Abdul Rasheed, who drew a blank without getting any votes from the Chundappuram ward of Koduvally municipality where he contested in the recently concluded local body polls.
Here, controversial businessman Karat Faisal, who stood as an Independent candidate, won the seat. He decided to enter the fray after he was denied a seat following the intervention of the CPI(M).

New alliances help LDF and UDF make gains; BJP fails to strike a chord with rural electorate
The CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) says a combination of factors have worked in its favour in Kozhikode district in the three-tier local body polls.
The induction of the Loktantrik Janata Dal (LJD) and the Indian National League (INL) has helped the Left coalition electorally overcome the anti-incumbency factor.

LDF retains Vadakara, Koyilandy; it is a ‘tie’ in Mukkom
The United Democratic Front (UDF) made gains in Kozhikode district when results of the elections to the seven municipal councils were declared on Wednesday.
While the UDF retained its hold over Koduvally, it also wrested Payyoli, Ramanattukara, and Feroke from the Left Democratic Front (LDF). But the UDF could not capture power in Mukkom, where its ‘tactical tie-up’ with the Jamaat-e-Islami-backed Welfare Party of India (WPI) had snowballed into a controversy. The LDF, which was in power in all municipalities except Koduvally last time, preserved its hold on Vadakara and Koyilandy.
