Vadakara assembly constituency is all set for a four cornered contest in the coming 2016 assembly elections. While K.K. Rema, wife of slain dissident CPIM leader T.P Chandrasekharan and Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP) state committee member, is the candidate of the party, the BJP has nominated M. Rajesh Kumar and hopes to improve its performance. Though UDF has the slight edge in Vadakara, its alliance partner JD (U), which is contesting the seat is plagued by infighting.
