Who will win in Puthuppally by poll? Chandy Oommen or Jaick?


The unexpected announcement by the election commission to conduct the Puthuppally by-election on September 5, 2023, took all concerned parties by surprise. The usually deliberative Congress party defied expectations by swiftly declaring Chandy Oommen as the UDF candidate.

The Puthuppally Assembly constituency had been under the continuous representation of the late legend St Oommen Chandy for an impressive 53 years. The by poll arises due to his journey to his eternal abode on July 18, 2023.

Both the CPI(M) and the BJP are poised to finalize their candidates within the next couple of days. Speculation points to Jaick C Thomas as the very likely LDF candidate and George Kuriyan as the BJP nominee.

The constituents of the Puthuppally constituency are brimming with excitement, eagerly anticipating the opportunity to cast their votes in support of Chandy Oommen. This act would serve as a heartfelt tribute to the memory of Late Oommen Chandy. Projections suggest that the number of votes to be garnered by Junior Chandy may even surpass his father's record lead of 33,255 in 2011.

Furthermore, a significant portion of Kerala's population, including those who generally sympathize and vote for the LDF, are seeking an opportunity to express their rage and fury to the Pinarayi government, which has ruined Kerala state in all aspects and made it a devils own country. The anticipated humiliating defeat of the LDF is anticipated to be interpreted as a resounding referendum against the Pinarayi's disastrous government.

Forecasts also indicate that the BJP candidate may face a daunting setback. The Christian community, as well as the socially aware Hindus and Muslims who had been inching towards the BJP, have reportedly been disheartened by the unsettling violence witnessed in Manipur, revealing what they perceive as the true colors of Modi and his BJP.
