The Left democratic front (LDF) has an edge in the Kongad assembly constituency. Out of the nine grama panchayats which form part of the constituency, eight are being controlled by LDF. In the 2014 last Lok Sabha elections, the CPI (M) candidate form the Palakkad parliamentary constituency had secured a lead of 14,000 votes over his nearest Congress rival M P Veerendrakumar in the Kongad assembly segment. While CPIM has re-nominated its sitting MLA K.V. Vijayadas for 2016 assembly elections, senior Congress leader and former minister Pandalam Sudhakaran has been roped in to take on Vijayadas. Renu Suresh is in the fray on behalf of the BJP which has some pockets of influence in the constituency.
