His closest rival, Hamdullah Sayeed of the Indian National Congress, secured 22,028 votes, losing by 823 votes. Faizal's tenure as MP was interrupted by disqualification due to a 10-year jail term. However, his conviction was later suspended by the Kerala high court, leading to his reinstatement. The constituency's engagement was evident with 47,009 valid votes cast.
The Congress has once again fielded Hamdullah Sayeed from the constituency. BJP has extended support to Ajit Pawar led-NCP in Lakshadweep which is yet to reveal its candidate for the seat.
