MALAPPURAM: Manorama News VRM pre-poll survey shows that there will be a UDF wave in Malappuram district this time in the assembly elections. Pre-poll results predict that the UDF will win in 15 of the 16 constituencies in the district.

Thavanur will be the only seat won by the LDF. According to the survey, KT Jaleel will win in Thavanur this time too. Charity activist Firoz Kunnamparambil is contesting against Jaleel here.

The most important finding of the survey is that the CPM will lose Ponnani, which is known to be a left fort. The Nilambur and Tanur constituencies, which were won by the left last time, will also be lost, the survey said. The survey also predicts fierce fighting in the Muslim League's monopoly constituencies of Manjeri, Vallikunnu and Tirur.
