Kochi, Mar 15 (PTI) Leader of Opposition in the Kerala Assembly V D Satheesan on Sunday said the Congress will announce its candidates for the upcoming Assembly elections in different phases soon after the poll notification is issued.

Speaking to reporters here, Satheesan said there are no differences with UDF allies over seat-sharing.

“Since there was uncertainty over the election announcement, all parties decided to delay the candidate announcement. Once the election is declared, the candidates will be announced in different phases,” he said.

He said seat sharing with UDF allies could be finalised in a short meeting.

“The seat-sharing matter is in the final stage and there are no issues between the allies. If any seat exchange is required, discussions will be held,” he said.

Satheesan added that no allies have sought additional seats and the UDF parties are moving forward in good coordination.

Regarding the possibility of MPs contesting the Assembly elections, he said a decision in that regard would be taken by the AICC. PTI TBA TBA ROH
