Front makes emphatic victories in municipalities
The United Democratic Front (UDF) staged a sterling performance in the elections to the three-tier local bodies in Malappuram district by winning 26 of the 32 district panchayat divisions, 12 of the 15 block panchayats, nine of the 12 municipalities and 74 of the 94 grama panchayats on Wednesday.
While the UDF recaptured power in Tirur Municipality from the LDF, it lost power in Nilambur Municipality. The Congress lost power in Nilambur after several terms, thanks to the tactical ‘independent’ move by the LDF.
When the LDF retained power in Ponnani and Perinthalmanna municipalities in the district, the UDF made emphatic victories in Kondotty, Kottakkal, Parappanangadi, Tirurangadi, Valanchery, Malappuram, Manjeri, Tirur and Tanur municpalities.
