Rahul won with a record majority
UDF candidate Rahul Mankootil won the Palakkad by-election with a record majority. Rahul has won Mangoota with a majority of 18840 votes. Rahul, who reached Palakkad from Pathanamthitta, now reached the Legislative Assembly in Mangkoot.

Priyanka surpasses Rahul Gandhi’s majority in Kanniyangam
In the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, Priyanka Gandhi defeated her opponents in all counting rounds and won in Kanniyangam with a majority of over 410,931 votes. Priyanka’s landslide victory surpasses the majority achieved when Rahul Gandhi contested in Wayanad in 2024. There was a campaign that the vote percentage would at least affect Priyanka’s majority, but as soon as the counting of votes started, it was clear that Priyanka’s majority would cross four lakh. Rahul Gandhi won the 2024 Lok Sabha elections with a majority of 3,64,422 votes with 6,47,445 votes. Priyanka Gandhi won the highest majority in the by-election. While Priyanka got a total of 622338 votes, LDF’s Sathyan Mokeri got 211407 votes. BJP’s Navya Haridas got 109939 votes.
LDF retained Chelakkara through UR Pradeep
LDF’s UR Pradeep won in the Chelakara by-election with a majority of 12201 votes. Pradeep’s advance was made by making UDF candidate Ramya Haridas ineligible since counting of postal votes started. In Chelakkara, the candidate PV Anwar could not make any movement either. UR Pradeep got 64,827 votes. Ramya Haridas got 52,626 votes. BJP candidate K Balakrishnan has secured 33609 votes in Chelakkara. Independent candidate PV Anwar Sudhir NK could get only 3920 votes.
In Chelakkara, the left movement was visible from the beginning. Varavoor Panchayat votes were counted first. The UDF has fielded Ramya Haridas in the hope of a coup in the constituency which the LDF has held as a stronghold. But Ramya Haridas could not make the expected progress. Through Balakrishnan, the BJP was able to make significant gains in the constituency. A BJP candidate could get 24,045 votes in the 2021 assembly elections.
It is also an achievement for UR Pradeep that he was able to increase the majority he got when he contested in 2016. In 2016, Pradeep won with a majority of 10,200 votes. When K Radhakrishnan came in 2021, the LDF was able to increase its majority to 39,400. With Chelakkara’s victory, there is no anti-incumbent sentiment coming from the LDF leaders.
