Despite not surpassing the 76.60% turnout of 2021, the UDF is confident of capturing Nilambur this time.
Malappuram: Both the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and United Democratic Front (UDF) are optimistic about victory in Nilambur following a 75.27% voter turnout. Despite falling short of the 76.60% recorded in 2021, the UDF is confident of winning Nilambur this time. They are not concerned about former Nilambur MLA PV Anvar splitting their votes.
The UDF's confidence stems from their belief that they have worked effectively in Nilambur, a constituency where both the Congress and the League have considerable influence, to prevent any erosion of their vote share. The CPM is also hopeful of a win, albeit by a narrow margin. They believe that the relatively lower voter turnout will favor M Swaraj. PV Anvar, who focused his campaign on his strongholds, is confident of demonstrating his support in the constituency.
UDF candidate Aryadan Shoukath responded that there was a good turnout in UDF strongholds. M Swaraj stated that he does not correlate polling percentage with expectations. He pointed out that the Left Front has won all recent elections with good voter turnout. He told Asianet News that he cannot predict the margin of victory and that it is not his style. P.V. Anvar claims he will secure 75,000 votes on his own.
