Vamanapuram is a bastion of the CPI (M) which has never lost an election to the seat since 1977. While the party has nominated D.K. Murali to contest the seat in 2016 assembly election, T Saratchandra Prasad of the Congress is in the fray on behalf of the UDF. Under the seat sharing arrangement with the BJP, Vamanapuram has been allotted to the Bharat Dharma Jana Sena (BDJS) which has given ticket to R.V. Nikhil.
