Elections
In 2004, Sobha Surendran competed unsuccessfully in the Wadakkancherry by-election. She ran without success for election Ponnani in 2006, and in a by-election in Ernakulam in 2009. Sobha Surendran ran for Puthukkad in the 2011 Kerala state assembly elections, but lost to C. Raveendranath of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M). In this election her husband, K. K. Surendran, ran for Kottakkal but lost to M. P. Abdussamad Samadani of the Indian Union Muslim League. In the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, Sobha contested for the Palakkad constituency for BJP and lost.
When the Kerala state leadership of the BJP decided to field Shobha Surendran as candidate for the state assembly Palakkad constituency in the May 2016 Kerala state assembly elections there were protests from the local leaders. They wanted to run a local candidate rather than Surendran, who is from Thrissur. However, Sobha Surendran ran for Palakkad while her husband, K. K. Surendran, ran for Ponnani. The couple planned to support each other in their campaigns. Sobha Surendran's opponents were Shafi Parambil of the Indian National Congress and N. N. Krishnadas of the CPI-M. After being defeated in the election Shobha Surendran gave a formal complaint against Corporation vice chairman Krishna Kumar, whom she accused of using local BJP activist to support his own campaign in Malampuzha.
