Watch: Kasaragod decides three-way battle: Kerala Elections 2026

Kasaragod, Keralas northern gateway and Saptha Bhasha Sangamam Bhoomi, heads into the April 9 assembly election with a tight three-cornered contest. The Indian Union Muslim League-led UDF faces a strong challenge from the Bharatiya Janata Party, while the Communist Party of India (Marxist)-backed independent adds a third angle. UDFs Kallatra Mahin Haji banks on legacy, BJPs Ashwini M.L. pushes development, and LDF-supported Shanavas Padhoor targets grassroots voters. Key issues include healthcare gaps, dependence on Mangaluru, Endosulfan concerns, and linguistic rights.
