Siblings Face Off in Heated Local Poll Contest in Idukki Gram Panchayat

Idukki: Narakam Puzha, the 10th ward of Kokkayar Panchayat, is becoming the venue for a notable contest in the local self-government elections. Here, brother Ayoob Kottamplackal is contesting as the UDF (United Democratic Front) candidate in the same ward, while his sister Alsalana Sakeer is the LDF (Left Democratic Front) candidate against him.

Both siblings have been actively involved in public service for many years. Their direct competition is making the election scene in the ward particularly engaging. Alsalana Sakeer currently serves as a CPM (Communist Party of India (Marxist)) panchayat member. Their extensive experience in public service is a significant asset for both candidates.

As the siblings face each other based on differing political ideologies, voters in the ward are presented with a unique situation where political stances must take precedence over personal family ties. This rare occurrence is drawing significant attention in the realm of local politics.
