Niyamasabha Election 2021[edit]

C. F. Thomas who had represented the constituency for 40 years died in September 2020. Because of the pandemic and also the nearby legislative assembly elections, by- elections were not held. The Kerala Congress (M) had left the UDF and had joined the LDF. The Kerala Congress (Joseph) tied up with the Kerala Congress led by PC Thomas and contested the elections as Kerala Congress for the UDF. Kerala Congress lost in 8 out of 10 seats they contested including Changanssery. The incumbent seat holding Kerala Congress (M) won the seat. A thing to note here is that CF Thomas supported the Kerala Congress lead by PJ Joseph following the fights which erupted within the party between Jose K Mani and P. J. Joseph over the leadership of the party following KM Mani's death.
