2024 Election:
In the Pathanamthitta constituency, the Political dynamics have shifted from the unique social conditions of 2019. This time, former Finance Minister Dr. Thomas Isaac is stepping into the arena as the candidate for the CPM, while Congress candidate Anto Anthony is seeking his fourth consecutive term as MP from Pathanamthitta.

Despite a fierce battle, Antony emerged victorious for the third time with a majority of 44,243 votes.
