While the buzz surrounding a head-to-head clash between rival Kerala Congress factions in Kottayam and the intense three-cornered battle in Pathanamthitta seemed more pronounced than in the previous election, the statistics paint a different picture.
Initial estimates suggest that the overall voter turnout in Kottayam was 65.59%, significantly down from the 75.47% recorded in 2019. Similarly, the Pathanamthitta constituency saw a turnout of 63.33%, marking one of the lowest voter participation in the election.
