Thiruvananthapuram, March 26 (IANS) A total of 269 aspirants will fight it out for the 20 Lok Sabha constituencies in Kerala on voting day April 10, officials said.

Wednesday was the last day for withdrawal of nominations here. In all, 56 candidates withdrew their nominations.

In Kerala, the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and the CPI-M led Left Democratic Front (LDF) are the two major political combinations.

There would be 11,895 polling locations with 21,424 polling booths as against 20,476 polling booths in the previous election.
