Kerala Polls: Key Faces to Look Out for on Election Results Day
The state election results are scheduled to be declared on May 2.
Politics8 hours ago
New Delhi: In the run-up to the single phase election for 140 assembly seats, Kerala witnessed a fierce campaign led by the ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF), Opposition Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and the BJP-led NDA, which hopes to fracture the decades-old bipolar polity led by UDF and LDF. The state election results are scheduled to be declared on May 2.
Here are some of the key candidates to keep an eye out for on May 2.
Women MLAs have never exceeded 10% of Kerala legislative Assembly in its 64-year political history. Kerala elected the highest number of women MLAs in 1996-13. Since 2001, this percentage has hovered around 5%, but in 1967 and 1977, only one woman was elected to the Kerala Vidhan Sabha. In large part, there are only a few women MLAs because political parties give a small number of tickets to women to contest elections. Although parties in all the three coalitions have increased the percentage of tickets given to women since 2001, the number has never exceeded 16% of total contesting candidates. In the last Assembly election held in 2016, the Communist Party of India gave 16% tickets to women, followed by CPI(M), which gave 14% tickets. Both the BJP and the Congress gave 10% of their tickets to women.
