Shoukath, Sharafali begin outreach in Nilambur
The United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) are gearing up for the upcoming Assembly elections in Nilambur, with informal campaigning already underway. Aryadan Shoukath, the sitting MLA for the UDF, is expected to seek re-election, while the LDF has chosen U. Sharafali, president of the Kerala State Sports Council, as their candidate. The LDF's decision to back Sharafali, who lacks a political background, has sparked some unease among local leaders, but he plans to meet prominent figures in the constituency starting Friday.
