In an election where a healthy 74 percent of voters cast ballots, Basheer earned 5,21,824 votes, while Veetil received 3,28,551 votes.

About the Lok Sabha Constituency of Ponnani
Due to its sizable Muslim voting base, the Ponnani Lok Sabha seat is unquestionably an IUML stronghold. The only party that is anticipated to give the IUML a serious fight in the approaching Lok Sabha Elections of 2024 is Kerala’s governing Communist Party of India (Marxist).
In the Ponnani constituency, national parties like the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are almost nonexistent, and there is little indication that this situation will change.
Phase 2 of the seven-phased Lok Sabha Elections 2024 will take place on April 26 and include elections for all 20 parliamentary seats in Kerala.
