UDF candidate and Leader of the Opposition VD Satheesan during the final day of election campaigning in Paravur constituency in Kochi. NEW DELHI: Exit polls for the Kerala Assembly election projected a likely return of the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF), with most projections placing it ahead of the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF).Estimates vary, but the range broadly suggests the UDF could cross the halfway mark in the 140-member House, with projections spanning from around 70 seats at the lower end to close to 90 at the higher end. In contrast, the LDF is largely seen falling short, with projections indicating a ceiling below a simple majority. Watch Kerala Exit Polls 2026: UDF Leads Across Polls, But Margins Vary SharplyIf these projections hold, the outcome would carry significance beyond a routine change of government as Kerala has long been defined by a distinctive political rhythm in which power alternates between the UDF and the LDF, like Rajasthan which still changes the government every five years.This pattern has persisted for decades and has been a defining feature of the state’s electoral behaviour. The LDF’s return to power in 2021 broke that rhythm by securing a second consecutive term, an outcome that was widely interpreted as a shift in voter preference driven by governance factors and crisis management during the pandemic.A UDF victory in 2026 would therefore be read as a restoration of that earlier pattern rather than a simple anti-incumbency result. It would suggest that the break in 2021 was more of an exception shaped by specific circumstances than a durable realignment in Kerala’s politics. The electorate, in this view, would be reaffirming its tendency to rotate power between the two major alliances, ensuring both continuity and accountability over time.The exit poll numbers also indicate a competitive environment rather than a one-sided verdict. Even at the lower end of projections, the UDF is only marginally above the majority mark, while the LDF remains within striking distance. This narrow band reinforces the idea that Kerala’s electorate continues to deliver closely contested outcomes, where small swings in vote share can translate into significant seat shifts. Such a scenario supports the argument that alternation is not merely a historical pattern but is structurally embedded in the state’s political behaviour.At the same time, the projected decline of the LDF carries broader implications. Kerala has been the principal state where Left parties exercise governmental authority. If the LDF were to lose power here, it would mark a contraction in the Left’s institutional presence at the state level. This would not erase its political relevance, but it would reshape its role from governance to opposition, with consequences for policy influence and national positioning.For the UDF, a projected return raises questions about the basis of its recovery. The alliance has sought to consolidate support across communities and regions while addressing organisational challenges that have affected it in previous cycles. If the projections translate into results, it would indicate that the UDF has managed to convert anti-incumbency sentiment into a coherent electoral advantage. It would also reflect voter responsiveness to local issues such as employment, migration, cost of living, and governance perceptions, which often play a decisive role in Kerala’s elections.However, it is important to approach exit poll projections with caution. Kerala has a history of producing results that can diverge from pre-poll estimates, particularly in tightly contested seats. The final outcome will depend on how votes translate into seats across constituencies, many of which are known for narrow margins.If the UDF does return to power on May 4, it would not only signal a change in government but also reaffirm Kerala’s enduring pattern of political alternation.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

NEW DELHI: Assam assembly elections concluded in one phase on April 9, recording a turnout of over 85%, one of the highest in recent years. In a crucial contest in Assam, the Bharatiya Janata Party, under chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, is seeking a third straight term. Meanwhile, the Congress has mounted a determined effort to regain ground in the state, led by Gaurav Gogoi, son of former chief minister Tarun Gogoi and currently the deputy leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha.When and where to watchEarly trends will start to take shape from 8am on May 4 as counting begins across all 126 constituencies in the state. Real-time data will be available on the Election Commission’s website, along with live updates, analysis, and seat counts on The Times of India.Follow full coverage of elections hereWhat exit polls predictExit polls released on Wednesday evening for the closely watched Assam contest suggest a clear majority for the incumbent government led by Himanta Biswa Sarma, with most pollsters backing the BJP to win a third consecutive term in the tea-producing state. The projections place the Congress on the sidelines, leaving the party in a weaker position and offering little boost to its campaign led by Gaurav Gogoi in Assam. Overall, estimates from various agencies indicate a comfortable victory for the BJP-led government, pointing to a likely third straight term for the party under Himanta Biswa Sarma.How counting is doneThe counting process is carried out in an organised and closely supervised manner. It begins with the counting of postal ballots, after which votes recorded in Electronic Voting Machines are taken up. For each constituency, counting happens in several rounds, with updates released after every round. Once all rounds are finished and verified, the returning officer announces the final result. Security at counting centres is strict, with strong rooms under constant guard and entry limited to authorised personnel and representatives of candidates. While Electronic Voting Machines enable quicker vote tabulation, the need for verification and round-by-round counting means the entire process continues throughout the day.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

While Electronic Voting Machines enable quicker vote tabulation, the need for verification and round-by-round counting means the entire process continues throughout the day.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

NEW DELHI: For decades, politics in Tamil Nadu has revolved around two Dravidian giants — DMK and AIADMK.Election after election, new entrants have tried to break this duopoly, but most have struggled to make a lasting impact.In the 2026 assembly elections, the bipolar contest was disrupted by a high-profile cinematic entry, as actor-turned-politician Vijay Thalapathy positioned himself as an alternative for the people in the state.Bihar’s Prashant Kishor or Delhi’s Kejriwal?In the run-up to the polls, Vijay’s political entry has drawn comparisons with two “startup” experiments — Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party and Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj.When Prashant Kishor entered Bihar’s electoral arena with Jan Suraaj, he attempted to challenge entrenched caste politics with a pitch focused on governance failures, migration and jobs. The message resonated, but votes did not follow.His party drew a blank in the Bihar assembly elections despite contesting all 243 seats.In contrast, Arvind Kejriwal quit his government job and launched Aam Aadmi Party after the India Against Corruption movement. In its first electoral outing, the party won 28 of 70 seats in Delhi and went on to dominate subsequent elections.Does Vijay stand a chance?Tamil Nadu’s political contest has largely been shaped by fronts led by DMK and AIADMK. Since 1967, power has alternated between these two, with smaller parties aligning with either side.This time, however, the race appears to be shifting towards a three-way contest, as a significant section of voters has remained outside the two main blocs.In 2016, AIADMK won 134 seats with over 40 per cent vote share, while DMK secured 89 seats with 32.1 per cent. Nearly 20 per cent of votes went to other parties, including BJP and Left.A similar trend played out in 2021. AIADMK-BJP alliance secured 39.71 per cent vote share, while DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance garnered around 45 per cent.In both elections, roughly one-fifth of the electorate voted outside the two dominant alliances. This 15–20 per cent unaligned vote remains critical for any third force.However, that does not automatically mean these votes will consolidate behind TVK.What exit polls suggestMost projections place TVK in the 10–24 seat range — a notable debut, but one that positions it more as a spoiler than a principal contender.P-Marq and Matrize estimate 10–12 seats, while Peoples Pulse projects 18–24, indicating traction among urban and younger voters.In such a scenario, Vijay’s party could split anti-incumbency votes, indirectly benefiting DMK.Axis MyIndia, however, offers a dramatic outlier, projecting 98–120 seats for TVK — numbers that, if realised on May 4, would propel Vijay to the centre of Tamil Nadu politics overnight.Even so, Tamil Nadu’s electoral landscape remains deeply rooted in Dravidian politics, strong party organisation and long-standing voter loyalties. Translating popularity into votes requires booth-level strength — an area where established players like DMK and AIADMK still hold an advantage.So, will Vijay be able to convert momentum into a mandate? Or will his debut mirror the fate of many other political experiments in Tamil Nadu?The answer will be clear on May 4.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
