Performance in local body elections a boon for UDF
Kalpetta constituency is the only segment allotted for the general category among the three Assembly segments in Wayanad district.
The constituency had favoured the United Democratic Front (UDF) in theAssembly and Lok Sabha polls in the past few elections, except in the Assembly polls in 2016. M.V. Shreyams Kumar of the Janata Dal (Secular) had been representing Kalpetta since 2006. However in 2016, Mr. Kumar, who was then part of the Janata Dal (United), was defeated by C.K. Saseendaran of the CPI(M) by a margin of 13,083 votes.
