In Kerala's Kazhakoottam, V. Muraleedharan of the BJP narrowly defeated CPI(M)'s Kadakampally Surendran by 428 votes.

Kerala's 2026 Assembly elections are shaping into a multi-cornered battle, with 20 key constituencies defining the real contest. These seats, marked by urban change, coastal pressures, and high-profile candidates, will be decisive in determining the state's political direction.

The Congress-led UDF has returned to power in Kerala after a decade, securing 102 seats in the 140-member assembly due to a strong anti-incumbency wave against the Pinarayi Vijayan government. The BJP achieved a notable breakthrough, winning three seats, while the LDF faced a significant rout attributed to public anger over perceived authoritarianism.

Early trends for the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections show a significant shift, with the Congress-led UDF projected for a commanding victory, leading in over 100 seats. The ruling LDF faces strong anti-incumbency, while the BJP remains a marginal player. This outcome suggests a return to Kerala's traditional pattern of alternating governments.

As Kerala heads to the polls, the election narrative shifts from rallies to booth-level battles. The ruling LDF aims for a historic third term, while the UDF seeks to leverage local body momentum against anti-incumbency. The NDA is focused on converting key pockets into durable political footholds, making these 20 constituencies the state's pressure points.

Union minister of state for external affairs v muraleedharan said the country will soon overcome the current growth slowdown.
