Unfazed by the continuing uncertainty over its candidate, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) has commenced efforts to catch up with the United Democratic Front (LDF) at Puthuppally by kicking off election conventions.
A meeting of the LDF district committee here on Thursday finalised the schedule for holding the conventions at various levels, family meets and the campaign itinerary of the candidate. According to Lopez Mathew, district convener of the LDF, the coalition will declare its candidate on August 12.
“The filing of nomination papers on August 16 will be followed by a constituency-level convention. Conventions at the local body level will be organised the following day,” he said.
