Kanhangad Assembly Election 2016

Current Trend

Kanhangad is traditionally a Left bastion. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, CPIM candidate from Kasaragod Lok Sabha constituency P. Karunakaran had secured a lead of 7,715 votes over his nearest Congress rival T Siddique in the Kanhangad Assembly segment. In the 2015 local body election, the LDF improved its performance by establishing a thumping lead of 20,806 votes. The BJP has also become a force in the constituency by winning quite a few seats in the 2015 local bodies election. Sitting CPI MLA E. Chandrasekharan is once again in the fray on behalf of the LDF.
