A stronghold of the Congress from 1991, the Adoor assembly seat went in favour of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in 2011. While the Communist Party of India (CPI) had again nominated its sitting legislator to contest the seat in the coming 2016 assembly polls, K.K. Shaju is in the fray on behalf of the Congress under the banner of United Democratic front (UDF). P. Sudheer of the BJP is also a key contestant in the Adoor Assembly constituency.
