Kerala Elections 2026- Overview
The political contest in Kerala is primarily between three alliances. The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF), led by Pinarayi Vijayan, is seeking a rare third consecutive term in power. The United Democratic Front (UDF), led by the Indian National Congress, is aiming to return to power after its defeat in 2021. Meanwhile, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, is attempting to expand its presence and emerge as a stronger alternative in the state.
In the previous 2021 Assembly elections, the LDF secured a decisive victory by winning 99 out of 140 seats, breaking Kerala’s long-standing trend of alternating governments between the LDF and UDF.
