The RSP also announced its last candidate in Attipra ward where they had already announced their remaining candidates in four wards. With this the UDF has completed its candidates’ list in 100 divisions in the corporation.
Muslim League has announced Milani Pereira (Beemapally), Sajeena Teacher (Beemapally East), Dr Anwar (Vallakadavu), Padma Teacher (Karamana) and L Thankamani (Poonkulam) as its candidates.

More clarity on the rebel candidates of the UDF will be known only on Thursday.
RSP has announced T Navya, a degree student as its candidate in the Attipra ward. The other wards where RSP is contesting include Dr N I Sudheesh Kumar (Punchakkari), P Shyam Kumar (Kuravankonam), S Jagadeesh aka Unni (Ambalathara) and Karikkakam Suresh (Karikkakam) whose candidatures were announced already.
