A constituency where no front can swear by loyalties
The Hindu
None of the fronts seems to have an upper hand in Kozhikode South, which has never been completely loyal to any party. Incumbent MLA M.K. Muneer choosing not to contest from here again does not sit well with the voters and hence adds to the confidence of both LDF and NDA candidates.
The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has fielded a woman for the first time in 25 years to defend its sitting seat. However, Noorbina Rashid, despite the position she holds in the party and her illustrious career as a criminal lawyer, is not very popular among party workers. However, the party has succeeded in making a statement in favour of women in the Muslim majority constituency. Though Mr. Muneer had improved his majority in 2016 compared with 2011, the situation is different now. Of the 25 wards of the Kozhikode Municipal Corporation that come under the constituency, 15 are represented by LDF councillors, while the UDF has only eight seats, while the remaining two are represented by BJP councillors.
