The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) surged ahead in Kerala on Monday as counting of votes for the 140 Assembly constituencies progressed, putting the opposition alliance on course for a strong comeback after a decade.Early trends showed the UDF leading in around 100 seats, while the ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) trailed with leads in about 40 constituencies.The counting process began at 8am across centres in the state, starting with postal ballots, and a clearer picture is expected as more rounds are completed.While the BJP has been attempting to expand its footprint after recent gains in parliamentary and local body polls, its presence remains limited to a handful of constituencies in the early trends.Election Results 2026Vijay’s TVK party emerges as formidable force in Tamil Nadu; all you need to know about its journeyWest Bengal election results: Mamata lags behind Suvendu Adhikari after 2nd round in BhabanipurTVK pushes DMK, AIADMK to margins; BJP may oust Mamata in Bengal, retain AssamWest BengalTamil NaduKeralaAssamPuducherry PreviousBJP LEADINGWest BengalParty ViewAlliance ViewSeats283/294Total: 294Note: Repolling for the Falta assembly constituency in West Bengal has been scheduled for May 21.L + WMajority: 148BJP0AITC0CPI(M)0CONG0OTH0TVK LEADINGTamil NaduParty ViewAlliance ViewSeats230/234Total: 234L + WMajority: 118TVK0AIADMK0DMK0BJP0CONG0OTH0CONG LEADINGKeralaParty ViewAlliance ViewSeats140/140Total: 140L + WMajority: 71CONG0CPI(M)0IUML0CPI0BJP0OTH0BJP LEADINGAssamParty ViewAlliance ViewSeats126/126Total: 126L + WMajority: 64BJP0CONG0AGP0AIUDF0OTH0AINRC LEADINGPuducherryParty ViewAlliance ViewSeats29/30Total: 30L + WMajority: 16AINRC0BJP0CONG0DMK0OTH0 Next12345Source: PValueThe Kerala contest is part of a broader electoral exercise across five states, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and Puducherry — covering 824 Assembly seats.
