In 2019, T.J. Vinod managed to defeat LDF candidate by a small margin When he began formally campaigning on Sunday, T.J. Vinod, the United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate in Ernakulam constituency, may have struggled to shrug away memories of a rainy day in 2019.
Two years ago, on a day when it rained heavily and the majority of voters chose to stay indoors, the voter turnout in Ernakulam dropped to an all-time low of 56%. The results delivered a shock to the UDF as Mr. Vinod managed to get past his nearest rival by a margin of just 3,673 votes, the lowest winning margin for a Congress candidate from the UDF stronghold. Despair gripped the Left Democratic Front (LDF) camp as they lost the seat between the cup and the lip.
