US EditionKerala election result: Verdict against LDF's ‘anti-people policies’, says Congress as UDF heads for big win
The alliance swept aside the ruling Left Democratic Front, which fell to 35 seats as anti-incumbency and bread-and-butter concerns dominated the vote.
- The United Democratic Front secured a commanding 102-seat victory in the 140-member Assembly, ending a decade in Opposition and storming back to power in Kerala.
- Rising prices, unemployment, and agricultural distress fueled voter dissatisfaction, ultimately overshadowing the LDF's development-focused campaign across the state.
- While Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan retained his Dharmadam seat, 13 of his Cabinet colleagues faced defeat, with the Left suffering unexpected losses in Kannur, Kozhikode, Palakkad, Alappuzha, Kollam, and Thiruvananthapuram.
- Focus now shifts to the next chief minister among UDF leaders, while the BJP achieved its best-ever state performance, securing three Assembly seats.
- Marking a significant political milestone, the LDF's defeat means no state in India now has a Left government—a first in nearly five decades.
