Kerala Assembly Polls: UDF Seat-Sharing Delays Contrast with LDF's Early Candidate Moves

The United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala faces delays in finalising seat-sharing agreements, particularly between the Congress and Kerala Congress (Joseph) faction, stalling candidate selection and campaign preparations. Allies like the Indian Union Muslim League express concern over the prolonged talks, while the Congress moves closer to finalising its candidate list. Meanwhile, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) has advanced its candidate nominations in Kottayam, aiming to maintain its stronghold amid an anticipated intense electoral contest.
