Kasaragod or Kannur? Muslim League to demand an extra Lok Sabha seat, and is likely to get it too

New Indian Express  

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : With the Lok Sabha elections around the corner, the Congress leadership in the state is scheduled to start bilateral talks on seat sharing with its UDF allies this week. However, all eyes are set on Monday’s talks with the IUML when the League is expected to demand one more seat to its existing quota of two Lok Sabha seats, Malappuram and Ponnani. Senior leader Francis George, son of Kerala Congress founder the late K M George, is tipped to be the party nominee in the seat, currently held by Thomas Chazhikadan of the Kerala Congress. With sitting MP from Kannur K Sudhakaran deciding not to contest, the IUML feels it’ll be comparatively easy for the party to successfully stake claim for the seat.
