In a dramatic turn of events, independent MLA P V Anvar faced an interruption during a press conference at Chelakkara Assembly constituency. Election Commission officials, citing a breach of the model code of conduct (MCC), asked Anvar to cease the event.

Defiant, Anvar questioned the basis of the notice, demanding legal provisions to justify the claim. He also accused major political parties of exceeding election spending limits.
