THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With hardly a month remaining for assembly elections, political fronts are in the final round of discussions to field a suitable candidate in the 140th constituency Neyyattinkara at the southern end of the state. Though the LDF have already announced the candidature of current legislator K Ansalan, the UDF and the NDA camps are expected to finalise their respective candidates by Wednesday or Thursday, sources said.
According to a source close to the UDF camp, former MLA R Selvaraj and former Neyyattinkara municipal councillor Vinod Sen, a lawyer, are the front-runners to become the UDF candidate, with Selvaraj holding an edge. The draft list of candidates is expected to be out on Monday.
