Kerala Assembly Election 2026: MLA Predicts Over 554-Vote Margin in Kunnathunad Kochi: P. V. Sreenijan, the current member of the legislative assembly (MLA) for Kunnathunad constituency, has asserted that his party will secure a victory margin of more than 554 votes in the upcoming elections. The claim was made through a Facebook post, where Sreenijan emphasized his confidence in the outcome. He later clarified that the exact figure of 554 votes would be confirmed after the vote count is finalized. Sreenijan dismissed the party’s preliminary assessment that his faction is trailing by approximately 6,000 votes. Instead, he attributed his projected success to a combination of personal influence and developmental work over the past five years. He highlighted that his efforts in infrastructure and community projects have bolstered his support base. Additionally, he claimed to have received votes from both the Congress party and the Twenty20 faction, which he believes are not fully accounted for in the party’s current projections. The MLA also pointed out that the constituency’s political landscape is complex, with multiple parties vying for dominance. While the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and United Democratic Front (UDF) are major contenders, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) also has a significant presence. The contest includes candidates from the Twenty20 faction, with former mayor Babu Divakaran representing them. The UDF has fielded V. P. Sajeevendran as their candidate, aiming to reclaim the seat. In the recent local body elections, the constituency saw a split in power, with the UDF holding control over eight panchayat institutions and the Twenty20 faction managing four.#united_democratic_front #left_democratic_front #kerala_assembly_election_2026 #p_v_sreenijan #kunnathunad_constituency
