The ruling LDF in Kozhikode Corporation faces a challenge in standing committee elections due to a hung council. With only 35 of 76 seats, the LDF needs political maneuvering to fill positions on eight committees, as the UDF (28 seats) and NDA (13 seats) opposition will have significant influence. LDF may need to accommodate opposition members, unlike in 2010 when they held a clear majority and experienced leadership.
