It wins five seats when in 2016 it had won just two seats
A shock defeat in Pala notwithstanding, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) has shown that the gains that it made in Kottayam- a United Democratic Front bastion for long, are far more durable than just a local body election.
The CPI(M)-led coalition, emboldened by recent inclusion of the Kerala Congress (M) in its fold, on Sunday won five out of the nine assembly segments in the district. The coalition had won just two seats – Vaikom and Ettumanur, in Kottayam during the Assembly elections five years ago though it went on to win Pala later during the 2019 byelection.
