Tharoor shares survey showing him as top CM pick

A survey projecting Shashi Tharoor as the most popular nominee for the chief minister’s post among United Democratic Front (UDF) candidates, which the Thiruvananthapuram MP himself shared on his ‘X’ account, in the forthcoming Kerala Assembly polls has spread disquiet within the state Congress camp.

The opinion survey, prepared by an agency named AT Vote Vibe and with a sample size of over 1000 random individuals, claimed Tharoor was voted the most popular leader among UDF chief minister-hopefuls with 28.3% support. While 27% said they could not pinpoint a name, leader of the opposition VD Satheesan came second with 15.4% support followed by former LoP Ramesh Chennithala with 8.2% vote. Congress general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal was the choice of just 4.2% of the respondents.
