Across Kerala, early trends in the 2026 Assembly election indicate a decisive shift in power, with the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) surging ahead and poised for a commanding return to government. The alliance is leading in over 100 of the 140 Assembly seats, comfortably crossing the majority mark, while the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) is trailing far behind, struggling to retain even 40 constituencies. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) remains a marginal player, leading in only a couple of seats.The trends point to strong anti-incumbency against the LDF government led by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who initially trailed in his Dharmadam stronghold before regaining the lead in later rounds.
