Pinarayi Vijayan, confident LDF’s high-profile candidate, leads the battle; UDF and NDA take up the gauntlet
On Wednesday, residents of Kakkoth, a small ward in Chembilode panchayat in the Dharmadam constituency in Kannur, were in jubilation.
Children waving red and white balloons and others holding decorative umbrellas stood on both sides of the road. The scorching afternoon heat hardly seemed to bother them. But their eyes lit up upon hearing the sound of crackers bursting and drums beating.

New Delhi, Jan 15 : Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi has called a meeting of party leaders from Kerala next week to discuss the upcoming Assembly polls in wake of the setback the party received in the recent local body polls, sources said.
The leaders called include former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, state President M. Ramchandran and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Ramesh Chennithala. The Congress in the state is pitted against the ruling Left Democratic Front, but not making headway despite the anti-incumbency factor, due to its internal rifts with factions led by Chandy and Chennithala scrambling for supremacy, party insiders say.
