Kunnamkulam election results 2026: IUML MA Razak Master wins Kunnamkulam seat by over 13300 votes

MA Razak Master of IUML secures Kunnamkulam in Thrissur, Kerala with 13313 votes, beating Independent candidate PT A Rahim.Positioned in Kerala's Thrissur district amid thriving coconut and paddy landscapes, the Kunnamkulam Assembly constituency ranks 62nd among the state's 140 legislative seats, bolstering the Alathur Lok Sabha (SC) region. This general seat rallies over 200,000 voters from a semi-urban rural mix with notable Christian and Ezhava influences, achieving turnouts around 76percent, encompassing Kunnamkulam town and grama panchayats in central Kerala's coastal plains. It underscores CPI(M)'s consistent LDF stronghold, rooted in agrarian support against UDF's Congress machinery. In the 2021 Kerala Assembly elections, CPI(M)'s A.C. Moideen dominated with 75,532 votes at 48.78 percent, defeating INC's K. Jayasankar's 48,901 votes (31.58per cent) by a decisive 26,631-vote margin amid 76.35per cent turnout. The 2016 contest saw Moideen secure 63,274 votes (41.92per cent), edging CMP's C.P. John's 55,492 votes (36.77per cent) by 7,782 votes from nearly 190,000 voters, reinforcing LDF's electoral edge. Toward 2026, Kunnamkulam's CPI(M) lineage since the 1980s, barring INC interludes, thrives on farm welfare, rural banking, and minority outreach. With BJP gaining modest ground and UDF plotting comebacks, crop prices and coastal development will fuel the fray, keeping this LDF turf vital to Thrissur's political heartbeat.
