Pattambi election results 2026: CPI candidate Muhammed Muhassin retains seat

PATTAMBI: In Pattambi, Kerala, the result is in. CPI candidate Muhammed Muhassin wins the seat, holding on to the constituency he represented in the previous term. The 39-year-old postgraduate secured 80,062 votes, finishing 9,442 votes ahead of Congress candidate T. P. Shaji, who polled 70,620 votes. Muhassin carries a clean record with no criminal cases to his name.

Ensconced in Kerala's Palakkad district along the Bharathapuzha fringes, the Pattambi Assembly constituency holds the 50th rank among the state's 140 legislative seats, tying into the Palakkad Lok Sabha domain.

This general seat galvanises over 200,000 voters from a rural-urban Hindu-Muslim blend, with turnouts surpassing 76 per cent, spanning Pattambi town and grama panchayats in north Kerala's fertile lowlands. It underscores LDF's reliable grip via CPI, countering UDF's regional advances in this agriculturally vital stretch.

In the 2021 Kerala Assembly elections, CPI's Muhammed Muhsin triumphed with 75,311 votes at 49.58 per cent, overpowering INC's Riyas Mukkoli's 57,337 votes (37.74 per cent) by 17,974 votes amid 76.5 per cent turnout. The 2016 bout reinforced CPI's Muhammed Muhassin with 64,025 votes (45.69 per cent), edging INC's C P Mohammed's 63,899 votes by a razor-thin 126 votes from nearly 190,000 voters, epitomising the seat's razor-close LDF edge.

Toward 2026, Pattambi's chronicle of CPI-LDF successes amid alternating UDF spells rides on farming welfare, irrigation, and minority ties. As INC rallies with BJP distractions, this LDF anchor's resilience will sway Palakkad's narrative in Kerala's intensifying political crosscurrents.
