Thrissur, a pivotal constituency in Kerala, is set to witness an intense electoral battle. The 2019 general elections saw significant political engagement, and the 2024 elections promise to be equally, if not more, competitive.
In a surprising turn of events for the 2024 elections, the Congress campaign in Thrissur faced an unexpected twist. Initially, Congress workers had begun campaigning for the sitting MP TN Prathapan.

On the BJP front, actor-politician Suresh Gopi is once again in the fray, aiming to secure a win in one of the BJP's most promising constituencies in Kerala. The Left Front has reinforced its position by nominating VS Sunil Kumar, a prominent CPI leader in Thrissur district and former Minister of Agriculture in the first Pinarayi government.
