With multiple claimants, Congress now faces a tough challenge in candidate selection in the remaining three constituencies - Mangaluru South, Mangaluru North and Puttur in Dakshina Kannada district and Karkala constituency in Udupi district.

Congress was wiped out in all five constituencies of Udupi district while it could retain only Mangaluru (Ullal) out of eight segments in Dakshina Kannada district in the 2018 elections.
