Rajan J. Pallan, the Indian National Congress candidate from Thrissur's General Assembly constituency, is in a tough three-cornered contest against Alankode Leelakrishnan of the Left Democratic Front and Padmaja Venugopal of the National Democratic Alliance.
Pallan, a seasoned local leader with extensive civic experience, has expressed confidence ahead of the polls, highlighting his strong connect with the people of Thrissur and his experience in public life.
With a career spanning grassroots politics and municipal leadership, Pallan has served as the fifth Mayor of the Thrissur Municipal Corporation and has been associated with the body since its formation.
According to his election affidavit, Pallan has declared assets worth approximately ₹2.67 crore.
The Thrissur seat has witnessed closely fought elections in recent years, with the Indian National Congress holding the seat for several terms, including a victory in 2011, but the Communist Party of India regaining the constituency in 2016 and retaining it in 2021.
