The upcoming by-election in Kerala's Thrikkakara constituency has captured attention due to its competitive nature following the death of Congress leader P T Thomas. His wife, Uma Thomas, seeks re-election, facing CPI(M)'s Pushpa Das and NDA's Akhil Marar.
Uma Thomas' campaign is banking on her previous track record while recovering from a significant injury, whereas Das focuses on development agendas and Marar leverages his Bigg Boss fame and alliance with NDA.
The by-election is a litmus test for the incumbent UDF, as Thrikkakara has traditionally been a stronghold amid ongoing urban development in the Kochi region.
