==History==<br />
Kannur Assembly Constituency, Unlike Kannur District Is A Tradional Bastion Of [[United Democratic Front (Kerala)|UDF.]]For the first election conducted to the [[Kerala Legislative Assembly]] in 1957, Kannur city had two Assembly constituencies - Cannanore-I and Cannanore-II. Following the [[Delimitation Commission of India|1965 delimitation]], Cannanore-I Assembly constituency was renamed to Kannur while Cannanore-II was replaced by the newly formed [[Edakkad Assembly constituency]].<br />
<br />
In the 2008 delimitation of constituencies, a major portion of the erstwhile Kannur Assembly constituency was replaced by [[Azhikode Assembly constituency]]. Edakkad Assembly constituency became defunct in 2011. A major portion of the erstwhile Edakkad Assembly constituency is now a part of Kannur Assembly constituency. Currently, the [[Kannur Municipal Corporation]] has two assembly constituencies: Kannur and Azhikode.<br />
