Daijiworld Media Network - Karkala

Karkala, Mar 12: The urban local body election results in the state have brought many surprises to the candidates as well as political parties. But to the utter shock of Hemachandran, a JD(S) candidate from ward no 11, he did not get a single vote!

When the counting results of Karkala town municipal council were declared, it was revealed that he had secured zero vote - even he had not voted for himself!

Let alone his JD(S) followers, his own family members did not vote for him. He should have at least got three votes as he lives with a family of three.

Similarly, candidate for ward no 19 from Karkala Alwyn Britto of JD(S), secured only one vote, which clearly indicated that only he had voted for himself. He has many relatives and friends in the ward, but unfortunately no one voted for Alwyn.

By the way, both the above candiates were extremly confident of winnning the election by huge margin. One of them had even reportedly arranged band and fire crackers for the celebration!
