Kollam (Kerala) | RSP, a UDF ally, on Monday announced four candidates for the Assembly election in Kerala to be held on April 9.

Though the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP) has sought five seats, the decision on the fifth seat is still under discussion, leaders said.

RSP state secretary Shibu Baby John will contest from Chavara in Kollam district.

Ullas Kovoor will contest from Kunnathur, Vishnu Mohan from Eravipuram and Santhosh Badran from Attingal.

"There is clarity about four seats for which we have announced the candidates. Regarding the fifth seat, the talks are in the final phase," John said.

He said that the party has sought Kanhangad seat in Kasaragod district.

"We have demanded Kanhangad in case the Congress takes over the Thrikaripur constituency from Kerala Congress. We are expecting a decision in this regard soon," he said.

In the 2021 Assembly election, the RSP contested from Mattannur, Eravipuram and Chavara but failed to win any seats.
