Riding on a host of factors, including poor development, INL triumphs after 10 years
The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) lost its sitting seat Kozhikode South to the Indian National League (INL) in an iconic fight. Fielding a woman candidate after a quarter of a century in place of sitting MLA M.K. Muneer, who contested from Koduvally this time, has backfired. For the INL, it is sweet revenge, winning back a constituency after 10 years.
Ahmed Devarkovil of the INL, never seemed to have a sure shot at the seat, especially since the party did not have a strong base here. However, the LDF wave in the district and systematic campaigning by party workers seems to have favoured him too.
