SDPI Names Candidate for Nilambur Bypoll
A political party called SDPI is putting up a candidate for a special election in Nilambur.
This is a change because they didn't participate in previous elections.
The election is happening because a previous politician, Anvar, quit.
Anvar used to be supported by one group but switched to another.
Leaders from the UDF, a different political group, are hopeful Anvar will still work with them.
They hope he will focus on issues that they agree on.
Discussions are ongoing within UDF to see how things will play out.
SDPI has nominated Sadik Naduthodi as its candidate for the Nilambur by-election.
This marks a departure from SDPI's previous support for the UDF.
The Nilambur bypoll follows PV Anvar's resignation.
Anvar, formerly with the LDF, has joined the AITC.
UDF leaders express cautious optimism about Anvar's cooperation.
