In a historic shift for the “Cultural Capital,” early counting trends show the UDF (United Democratic Front) poised to reclaim the Thrissur Corporation after a ten-year hiatus. The coalition is leading in a significant majority of the 55 wards, effectively ending the LDF’s long-standing dominance in the civic body. This resurgence is being viewed as a major political comeback, largely attributed to localized campaigning and a focus on urban infrastructure issues. As celebrations erupt across the Swaraj Round, security has been tightened to ensure victory marches remain peaceful. The final official declaration is expected by late evening, potentially marking a new era for Thrissur’s municipal administration.
