The Cochin Party was a political party in Cochin, India. The party was founded in 1949 by C.V. Iyyu, Kunhirama Menon and others.[1] Although the party had no links as such with the Cochin Praja Mandal, some of its leaders had been members of that group.[2] The party opposed integration of Cochin into a joint state with Travancore, and raised the slogan 'Cochin for Cochinites'.[1] It sought to maintain a separate Cochin state.[1][3] The party had a right-wing profile.[4]
The election symbol of the party was a flower.[5] The party presented twelve candidates in the 1951 Travancore-Cochin Legislative Assembly election. In total the candidates of the party obtained 59,535 votes (1.75% of the votes in the state). One candidate of the party was elected, Ayyappan from the Wadankancherry constituency (which had two seats, the other being won by the Socialist Party).[6] The party fielded one candidate in the 1951 Lok Sabha election, Ephrahim Moovamby in the Crangannur seat. He obtained 8,947 votes (3.74% of the votes in the constituency).[7] By the 1954 elections the party had disappeared.[4]
