Congress Fields Less Than 10% Women in Kerala Elections, UDF Women Representation at 8%

Congress has nominated only 9 women out of 92 candidates for the upcoming Kerala elections, resulting in women holding less than 10% of the party's tickets. This low representation extends to the United Democratic Front overall, where women constitute just 8%, highlighting persistent gender imbalance. With leaders like Shama Mohamed urging Rahul Gandhi to back more women candidates, this issue may affect party dynamics and voter sentiment as elections approach.
