The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] has announced its candidates for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The party is contesting in 15 seats.
CPI(M) State Secretary M.V. Govindan on Tuesday said incumbent MP A.M. Ariff will contest again from Alappuzha.
He said K. S. Hamsa, an Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) dissident contesting on the CPI(M) ticket from Ponnani, would get the hammer and sickle election symbol though he was yet to be a cardholding party member. He said CPI(M)-backed independent candidates contesting on non-party election symbols was a thing of the past.
The CPI(M)‘s candidates for other constituencies are K. Radhakrishnan (Alathur), V. Joy (Attingal), Professor C. Raveendranath (Chalakudy), K. J. Shine (Ernakulam), Joyce George (Idukki), M. V. Jayarajan (Kannur), M. V. Balakrishnan (Kasaragod), M. Mukesh (Kollam), Elamaram Kareem (Kozhikode), V. Waseef (Malappuram), A. Vijayaraghavan (Palakkad), T.M. Thomas Isaac (Pathanamthitta) and K. K. Shailaja (Vadakara).
The list includes a Minister, a Politburo member and three CPI(M) district secretaries.
Mr. Govindan expressed confidence that the party would erase the ignominy of winning only in Alappuzha in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
“The LDF will win in 20 seats. The Rahul Gandhi factor that benefited the Congress in Kerala in 2019 has petered out. Nobody believes the Congress’s false premise that Mr. Gandhi will be the next Prime Minister of India”, Mr Govindan said.
