LDF retains Vadakara, Koyilandy; it is a ‘tie’ in Mukkom
The United Democratic Front (UDF) made gains in Kozhikode district when results of the elections to the seven municipal councils were declared on Wednesday.
While the UDF retained its hold over Koduvally, it also wrested Payyoli, Ramanattukara, and Feroke from the Left Democratic Front (LDF). But the UDF could not capture power in Mukkom, where its ‘tactical tie-up’ with the Jamaat-e-Islami-backed Welfare Party of India (WPI) had snowballed into a controversy. The LDF, which was in power in all municipalities except Koduvally last time, preserved its hold on Vadakara and Koyilandy.
