Twenty20, the Kitex Group-backed political outfit, seems to be losing its sheen considerably after it lost power in two out of the four panchayats it had swept in the 2020 election and hardly created a ripple in the Kochi Corporation, where it contested in 56 divisions.

While the outfit retained power in Kizhakkambalam panchayat, its headquarters, and Aikkaranadu panchayat, it lost Kunnathunadu and Mazhuvannoor panchayats. It swept all 16 seats in Aikkaranadu and won 20 out of the 21 seats in Kizhakkambalam, where result was yet to be declared in one seat that the UDF is leading by a thin margin.
However, it was reduced to eight seats out of 21 in Kunnathunadu, where the UDF bagged 11 seats, the LDF won one, and an independent also won. In Mazhuvannoor, it was reduced to just six out of 21 seats, while the UDF won seven, the LDF three, and the BJP one, in addition to four independents. Much to the party’s relief, it managed to bag eight out of the 18 seats in Thiruvaniyoor panchayat, where the UDF and the LDF shared four seats each, while two independents also won.
