As Kerala's local body elections approach from December 9 to 11, pollution concerns in districts like Kozhikode, Ernakulam, and Kollam are shaping voter sentiment, while diverse candidates from environmental activists to first-time transwomen add color to the contest. Rival fronts fear public anger over environmental neglect could sway outcomes ahead of next year's assembly polls. Young first-time voters express mixed enthusiasm about participating in the democratic process.
