Kerala Assembly Elections 2026: Broad Left platform involving former CPI(M) leaders in the works, says K.K. Rema

Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP) leader and sitting MLA of Vadakara in Kozhikode K.K. Rema is seeking re-election from the constituency as a United Democratic Front (UDF)-backed candidate. Talking to The Hindu, she asserts that the voters will reject the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government for its “anti-people” policies. You are contesting for the third time from Vadakara. But this is your first poll battle after getting elected as an MLA in 2021. What are your hopes this time? We are getting a good feedback from the voters. All the circumstances are conducive for a consecutive second victory. The campaign is mainly focussed on the anti-incumbency feelings against the LDF government. That sentiment is clearly visible. The development works that I have undertaken in the past five years will also have an impact on voters. Are you concerned about the change in your symbol? It was football in 2021, but now you have been allotted television? No such worries though we have incurred some financial losses as posters with that symbol had already been printed before …
