Flex board of LDF candidate KC Soumya who withdrew her candidature from Kuravankonam ward of Thiruvananthapuram Corporation.
The campaign management teams of the various parties have a rather unenviable task after withdrawing candidates at the last minute. Confusion reigned in many constituencies in the state on the last day of filing nominations for local body elections.
In Thiruvananthapuram’s Kuravankonam ward, Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate KC Soumya, representing the Rashtriya Janata Dal, withdrew her candidature two days before the deadline. The fact that her name did not appear on the voter’s list, a problem faced by some other candidates, led her to withdraw from the contest. Although a replacement candidate was quickly found, flip boards and wall signs of the withdrawn candidate can still be seen throughout the department. The campaign team must now not only fix the new posters, but also ensure that the old ones are removed so that voters are not left confused.
