Malappuram, June 23 (UNI) Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate Aryadan Shoukath was leading with a margin of 8086 votes against CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate M Swaraj in the Nilambur Assembly by-election at the end of the eleventh-round counting held at Chungathara Marthoma HSS on Monday.

UDF secured a lead in all four panchayats at Vazhikkadavu, Moothedam and Edakkara, including a narrow edge of 800 odds at Pothukallu and Nilambur Municipality, two CPI(M)-controlled local bodies in the district. Now only two remaining panchayats, Karulayi and Amarambalam, are counting; both LDF-controlled panchayats are still pending.

Former LDF-backed independent MLA P. V. Anvar has said, "He got the majority of votes from both UDF and LDF fronts in their stronghold areas, and also added that this is a verdict against the LDF government led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's ideology.
