Thiruvananthapuram,May 4 (BNP): In a decisive political development, the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) has crossed the crucial majority mark in the Kerala Assembly Elections 2026, according to official trends from the Election Commission of India, signaling an end to a decade-long rule of the Left Democratic Front.

The UDF has surged ahead, leading in over 90 constituencies in the 140-member Assembly, comfortably crossing the majority mark of 71 seats. As counting nears completion, the alliance appears poised for a decisive victory, reflecting a significant shift in the state’s political landscape.

In a notable development, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is trailing in his stronghold Dharmadam, while Leader of Opposition V. D. Satheesan is leading in Paravur, further underscoring the changing electoral mood.

Reacting to the trends, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor described the outcome as a clear mandate for change after ten years of LDF governance. Emphasizing the party’s vision, he noted that the results reflect voters’ desire for a new direction and a different style of politics in the state.

Celebrations have erupted at Congress headquarters as party workers and leaders welcomed the strong performance, though senior leaders have urged caution until final results are formally declared.

If the trends hold, the UDF is set to return to power in Kerala, marking a significant political transition and potentially reshaping governance priorities in the state.

Further updates are awaited as the final results are confirmed.
