In the 2014 Lok Sabha election, Congress candidate M.K. Raghavan had secured a lead of over 5,000 votes more than the CPI (M)’s A. Vijayaraghavan in the Kozhikode South assembly constituency. However, in the local bodies elections in 2015 the UDF failed to hold on to the lead. M.K. Muneer, Minister for Social Justice in Kerala government and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) sitting MLA, is once again in the fray for upcoming 2016 assembly elections.
