Deccan Chronicle  

Thiruvanthapuram: CPM-led LDF candidate U R Pradeep achieved a remarkable victory in the Chelakkara assembly by-election, providing significant relief to the Pinarayi Vijayan government. Although the Left's victory margin decreased by 27,199 votes compared to the 2021 assembly elections, the Left leadership maintained that the victory confirmed the absence of any anti-incumbency sentiment. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan stated that the victory in Chelakkara will bolster the popular support and approval of the LDF government. The chief minister said although the UDF managed to hold onto Palakkad with the support of communal forces, the LDF candidate's vote count saw an increase from previous numbers.
