NDA Fields Father-Son Candidates in Two Christian-Majority Kerala Constituencies

Ahead of Kerala's April 9 Assembly polls, the NDA has nominated father-son duo P C George and Shone George as candidates in two Christian-majority constituencies, Poonjar and Pala. P C George, a seven-time MLA and BJP national council member, has a long political history including forming Kerala Janapaksham (Secular). His son Shone George, a state BJP vice president and former district panchayat member, is contesting in Pala against prominent leaders. Both expressed initial reluctance to contest separately but accepted party decisions emphasizing collective representation.
