Congress-led UDF Takes Clear Lead in Early Kerala Assembly Election Results

In the early results of the Kerala Assembly elections, the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) has taken a clear lead. Following reports that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is trailing in his own constituency, Congress workers have begun celebrating. The UDF is showing strong potential to restore power, reversing the trend of power shifts broken by the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in 2021. Kathmandu, April 21 – Early counts from the Kerala Assembly polls reveal that the ruling left-wing alliance LDF is trailing behind the Congress-led UDF, which has established a decisive lead. After reports surfaced that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is behind in his constituency, Congress supporters have started celebrations at their headquarters, Indira Bhavan, in the capital city. According to the current tallies, UDF maintains its lead, and the news of Vijayan lagging has boosted morale within the opposition camp. However, the latest counts suggest that Vijayan may regain a slight lead by a narrow margin in subsequent rounds. Although the LDF disrupted Kerala’s decades-long pattern of alternating governments in the 2021 election, the initial trends in this election indicate a strong possibility of the Congress-led alliance returning to power.
