The counting of votes for Kerala’s 140 assembly constituencies is well under way, offering the first clear indications of how the electoral battle will unfold in the state. Voting was held in one stage on April 9, and the result is now being closely monitored as leads continue to change throughout the day.
According to trends available around 4pm, the United Democratic Front, led by the Indian National Congress, scored an early win, leading in 69 seats. In contrast, the Left Democratic Front, led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) led by Prime Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, trails by a large margin in 22 constituencies.
These numbers, while still evolving, indicate a competitive contest, with the United Democratic Front currently leading in the race.

Vijayan retains his land in Dharmadum
Even as his party declines overall, Pinarayi Vijayan appears to be maintaining a comfortable lead in his constituency. In Dharmadom, the Prime Minister leads by at least 1,500 votes, indicating a strong personal performance despite the broader trend affecting his party.
Kerala recorded a voter turnout of 79.63 percent in these elections, according to official figures. The high participation reflects strong public participation in the closely followed competition.
Before counting began, several polls had predicted a return to power for the United Democratic Front, which has been out of power in the state since 2016. The majority mark in the 140-member assembly stands at 71 seats, making the current lead particularly significant as the day progresses.
The LDF, under Vijayan’s leadership, has ruled Kerala for the past two terms, and the ongoing trends will determine whether this march continues or ends.
