Leading political fronts in Kozhikode district have reportedly begun deliberations to choose candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and a clear picture is expected in the coming weeks.
The district has two Lok Sabha seats – Kozhikode and Vadakara – and the Thiruvambady Assembly segment is part of the Wayanad constituency.
The United Democratic Front (UDF) is all set to give another chance to incumbent MP and Congress leader M.K. Raghavan in Kozhikode, which he has been representing since 2009. During the reception given to the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee’s ‘Samaragni’ protest march on Kozhikode beach recently, KPCC president K. Sudhakaran gave enough indications in this regard. Mr. Sudhakaran also said that both the people and the party wanted Mr. Raghavan to contest from Kozhikode. In his speech, Mr. Raghavan too listed out the development projects he had brought to Kozhikode over the years, saying in so many words that he is game for another contest.
