NDA’s Rajesh gets 39,596 votes, UDF’s Veena Nair is third
CPI(M)’s V.K. Prasanth romped to victory in the Vattiyurkavu Assembly constituency on Sunday with a handsome margin of 21,515 votes.
The LDF candidate garnered 61,111 votes while managing to retain the seat that had remained a UDF bastion for over a decade since the delimitation of 2008. He bettered his performance during the 2019 byelection when he had won by a margin of 14,465 votes to defeat Congress’ K. Mohankumar. Mr. Prasanth also managed to marginally increase his vote share from 44.25% to 44.4% in the process.
