UDF, LDF declare candidates for Kuttichira bypoll in Kozhikode
Both the United Democratic Front and the Left Democratic Front have named their respective candidates for the Kuttichira municipal by‑poll in Kozhikode. The vacancy arose after IUML councillor Fathima Thahiliya stepped down following her election to the state assembly from the Perambra constituency in 2026. The election is expected to be closely watched as parties vie for control of the local body.
