UDF-led Pala administration collapses after no-confidence motion passed by 17 councillors
On July 21, 2026, the United Democratic Front (UDF)-led administration in Pala municipality collapsed after a no-confidence motion against chairperson Diya Binu was passed by 17 councillors. The motion, moved by the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and supported by four Congress members, including UDF vice-chairperson Bindu Rahul, ended months of infighting that paralyzed civic functions. Two Congress councillors abstained under a whip issued by DCC president Nattakom Suresh. Ms. Binu accepted the verdict democratically. This collapse could pave way for potential alliances between Congress and Kerala Congress (M) to stabilize governance in Pala.
