“Over 10,000 Keralites have arrived in the state in the past two weeks. More are expected to arrive on April 25,” Randathani told PTI. He mentioned that this is not an unprecedented event, as a similar wave of returning expatriates occurred during the previous Lok Sabha elections.
The KMCC’s efforts reflect the significant impact that overseas Indian workers can have on the democratic process, demonstrating their commitment to contributing to the political landscape in Kerala despite living and working abroad. Their return underscores the high level of engagement among the expatriate community when it comes to participating in India’s elections.
