Kerala High Court today dismissed the election petition filed by KP Mohammed Mustafa, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate in 2021 Kerala Legislative Assembly Election from Perinthalmanna constituency.
He came second to the United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate and MLA Najeeb Kanthapuram by 38 votes.
Mustafa had argued that 348 postal ballots were improperly rejected and those votes would have changed the result. He contended that the reasons for rejecting the postal ballots were not given to the counting agents.
A single bench of Justice C. S. Sudha presiding over the case today said, “the election petition is dismissed”.
Detailed judgment is awaited.
