Hello
The survey predicted that the UDF could expect 53.7 per cent votes, while the LDF may win 37.92 per cent.
The recent verdict in the Riyas Moulavi murder case in which all three accused were acquitted has given a shot in the arm to the IUML.
Flags of all UDF constituents, especially the IUML that resembles the national flag of Pakistan, were absent during the roadshow in Kalpetta.
Kerala CM also questions UDF's decision not to allow IUML flags during the procession.
April 19 in the first phase and April 26 in the second phase falls on Friday.
In Malappuram, this time too, all three fronts are depending on Muslim candidates, considering the district's demographic.
Besides three Lok Sabha members, the IUML has one Rajya Sabha MP from Kerala currently.
With the BJP also ready to declare its candidates, the election picture in Malappuram will become clearer in the coming days.
The IUML can take a decision only after discussing the proposal with party supremo Panakkad Sadik Ali Shihab Thangal.
As per reports, the row erupted after the Congress failed to appease the League by offering a Rajya Sabha seat instead of a third Lok Sabha seat.
