The list has a mix of old and new faces, with some prominent names like Sabina Yasmeen, the mother of a 9-year-old girl who died in a bomb blast last year during the Kaliganj Assembly bypoll.
The party first announced a list of 192 candidates, then a second list of 32 candidates, followed by a third list of 15 candidates. Earlier, CPI (M) State Secretary Mohammed Salim stated, “Our list is not yet complete, everything will become clear in due course.”
Out of the 32 candidates announced on the second list, one is from the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), three from the CPI, and the remaining 28 are from CPI (M).
