Kochi : Thrikkakara Municipal Council President Ajitha Thankappan has resigned from post as Chairperson. She tendered her resignation this noon. Ajitha’s decision comes after Independent Councilors switched support to the LDF.
Four Independents decided to flip their support following A - I group fights over who the Chairperson should be. The result was UDF losing majority in the Municipal Council. The outgoing Independents had put up with UDF for two-and-a-half years.
In the no-confidence Motion moved by LDF on Saturday, the Independents voted pro-LDF. Earlier, one Independent, PC Manoop had already moved over to LDF side.
Vice Chairman AA Ibrahimkutty put in his resignation the same day that no-confidence Motion sailed through. With both Chairperson and Vice Chairperson resigning their posts, there will be no discussion on the Motion in the Municipal Council
