The Congress-led UDF currently has a clear lead in a majority of seats in Kerala.
In Thiruvananthapuram constituency, Shashi Tharoor has regained the lead after initially trailing the BJP’s Kummanam Rajashekharan. However, Tharoor and Rajasekharan are neck and neck in Thiruvananthapuram.
In Pathanamthitta, where the Sabarimala issue is expected to play a role, current Congress MP Anto Antony is leading by 20,000 votes.
Interestingly, the ruling LDF is facing a massive setback in all 20 seats. Its insistence on implementing the Supreme Court’s Sabarimala verdict and poor rehabilitation works after the floods in August last year are reported to have contributed to the downfall of Communists in Kerala.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
