Summarized by PinBrief · From The Hindu · 2h ago

In a recent by‑election for the Ayyappankkavu ward of the Kochi Municipal Corporation, the United Democratic Front kept the seat. Candidate Ajith Kumar A.K., running for the UDF, secured his first win, edging out CPI(M) contender P.K. Usman by 549 votes. The result maintains the coalition’s presence in the local body. The narrow margin underscores competitive dynamics in the city’s municipal politics.
