UDF to retain power with wafer-thin majority in council

The results took the tally of Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the council to 20 while the UDF will retain power with 21 seats. Rafeeq Marakkar, the Independent candidate of the LDF, defeated V.S. Sameel of the Muslim League by 64 votes. Mr. Rafeeq won 308 votes while Sameel secured 244 votes.

The front is short of majority in Thrikkakara, Perumbavoor, Kalamassery, and Muvattupuzha
The United Democratic Front (UDF) remains confident of decisively wresting power in four municipalities in Ernakulam, where it had fallen short of a simple majority, with the help of Congress rebels who won as Independents.
The UDF fell tantalisingly short of majority in Thrikkakara, Perumbavoor, Kalamassery, and Muvattupuzha municipalities. If the UDF manages that feat, its tally of municipalities will rise to eight to the Left Democratic Front’s five.
