Aruvikkara by-election 2015 Contesting Parties / Candidates List

Even before the declaration of 2015 By Election Notification by the Election Commission of India, Aruvikkara Assembly constituency in Kerala has become a hot and prestige issue for all the political parties in the state. 

While it is a life and death battle for the ruling Congress led UDF government as the people are going to consider the outcome of the by poll as a referendum for it, the Opposition LDF has taken this as a prestige issue and a golden opportunity to topple the government.

UDF dissidents Kerala Congress (B) R Balakrishna Pillai and his son B Ganesh Kumar and Anti Corruption Democratic Front (ACDF) founder P C George have vowed to see the defeat of the UDF (though they are still in the UDF). Their only aim apparently is to see the defeat of the UDF candidate rather than the victory of the parties or persons they are supporting.

The LDF selected its candidate ahead of all other parties on May 28th. After two days the UDF could announce its candidate. The ACDF chief George has announced that it will field its candidate and the BJP too is looking for a strong and suitable person.

The list of Contesting Candidates and four main Political Parties for Aruvikkara by poll 2015:

1. LDF  - M Vijayakumar of CPI (M). Former minister.

2. UDF  - K S Sabarinathan (Cong). Second son of late G Karthikeyan

3. BJP  -  O Rajagopal. Former Rajya Sabha MP and central minister

4. ACDF-  K Das (Independent with the support of ACDF)
