Angamaly Verdict: Indian National Congress’ Roji M John Secures Landslide Win Over CPI(M) In Massive Mandate
In a powerful and decisive outcome from the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections, the Angamaly constituency delivered a clear verdict today after the completion of all 17 rounds of counting. The Indian National Congress candidate Roji M John registered a massive victory over CPI(M) candidate Saju Paul, winning by an overwhelming margin of 37,008 votes.
From the very first rounds of counting, constituency number 75 showed a strong tilt towards the Congress candidate. Roji M John consistently maintained a commanding lead, and as each round progressed, the gap widened further, making the result clear well before the final declaration was officially announced.
Roji M John, representing the Indian National Congress, is a well-known youth leader and experienced legislator in Kerala politics. His campaign in Angamaly focused heavily on development, infrastructure, youth engagement, and local governance issues, which appears to have resonated strongly with voters across the constituency. His strong organisational support and sustained grassroots presence translated into one of the most emphatic victories of the election.
On the other hand, Saju Paul of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) is a seasoned political figure and former MLA known for his long-standing involvement in constituency politics and public service. Despite his experience and consistent efforts during the campaign, he was unable to counter the strong wave of support that consolidated behind the Congress candidate in this election.
Angamaly, a politically significant constituency, has often witnessed competitive electoral battles. However, the 2026 verdict stood out due to the scale of the margin, reflecting a clear and decisive mandate from the electorate. The result is being seen as a strong endorsement of Roji M John’s leadership and the Indian National Congress’s organizational strength in the region.
Throughout the counting process, election officials maintained strict supervision and transparency. All 17 rounds were completed smoothly, and the final result was declared after proper verification of each stage. By the midpoint of counting, it had already become evident that the Congress candidate was heading towards a comfortable win, with the margin continuing to expand in the later rounds.
Party workers from the Indian National Congress celebrated the result as a significant political achievement, while CPI(M) workers acknowledged the outcome and began reviewing the factors that led to the heavy defeat. The scale of the margin has drawn attention from political observers, who note that such a landslide reflects a strong consolidation of voter sentiment.
With this decisive victory, Roji M John strengthens the Indian National Congress’s position in Angamaly, delivering one of the most emphatic mandates of the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections and reinforcing his political standing in the constituency.
