The state of Keralam has begun to receive clear verdicts seat by seat, and the early declared results, drawn from official data of the Election Commission of India (ECI), point to a decisive surge for the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF). While counting continues across all 140 constituencies, the results already declared, along with party-wise leads, indicate a strong shift in favour of the Opposition alliance after a decade.
According to the latest party-wise figures, the Indian National Congress has won 6 seats and is leading in 54, taking its total to 60 seats. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has won 2 seats and is leading in 26, with a total of 28 seats. The Indian Union Muslim League has won 1 seat and is leading in 22, taking its total to 23 seats. These figures underline the UDF’s clear advantage in both declared seats and ongoing leads.
Congress wins with big margins
Among the seats where results have been declared for the Congress, victories have come with commanding margins:
- Puthuppally (98): Adv. Chandy Oommen registered one of the biggest wins, with a margin of 52,907 votes and 84,031 votes in total.

CPI(M) results declared so far
From the LDF camp led by the CPI(M), two seats have been declared so far:

Clear trend emerging
The scale of margins in multiple Congress victories, particularly in Nilambur and Puthuppally, reflects a decisive voter swing. Combined with strong leads across constituencies, the UDF has moved well ahead of the halfway mark in trends, while the LDF trails significantly behind.
With more results expected through the day, the early numbers already suggest that Keralam is heading towards a clear political turnaround, with the UDF firmly in command of the electoral battlefield.
