THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Putting an end to the month-long wait, anxieties and internal tussles, the results of an intense election battle will be out on Monday.
In a ballot space of unpredictability, prominent leaders of all fronts are either likely to be in their respective home turfs or the state capital.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who has already left for his hometown Kannur, will be monitoring the election developments here.
Party officials close to him said that the chief minister will complete the formalities there and will only return to Thiruvananthapuram the next day, the decision about which will be based on the results.
CPM general secretary M A Baby will be monitoring the results from Delhi, while state secretary M V Govindan will be coming to Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday. While the other party secretariat members will be stationed at their respective districts, Govindan will oversee the developments from the AKG Centre here.
Two of the chief minister probables from Congress if UDF is voted to power, V D Satheesan and Ramesh Chennithala, will be in the capital city on the counting day.
Unlike in previous years, where he spent the counting day at his home turf, Paravur, Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan will be in Thiruvananthapuram, at his official residence, Cantonment House. Satheesan’s office informed that as of now, there are no plans for him to proceed to his constituency on the counting day.
Senior leader Ramesh Chennithala will watch the developments of the day, crucial for him and his front, at the KPCC headquarters here in the morning, and will most likely leave for Harippad in the afternoon.
Returning from Bengaluru, BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar is also likely to be at KG Marar Bhavan, the party headquarters here.
BJP’s former state president and most hoped Kazhakkoottam candidate V Muraleedharan is likely to be in the counting centre of the constituency, party workers said.
