The issues that affected the outcome of the last Assembly elections in Idukki are no longer in currency. An important factor this time is that the P.J. Joseph faction and the Jose K. Mani faction of the undivided Kerala Congress(M) are now part of rival coalitions.
While the Jose K. Mani faction moved to the Left Democratic Front (LDF), the P.J. Joseph faction remained with the United Democratic Front (UDF). The undivided Kerala Congress (M) had considerable influence among settler farmers in the district.
