The elections to the 140-member Kerala Legislative Assembly will be held in a single phase on April 9. Over the years, the politics in Kerala has hovered around the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Left Democratic Front (LDF), but the entry of Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has made this year's assembly elections interesting.
The BJP-led NDA, buoyed by its success in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections when it won a seat in Kerala, is hoping to change its fortune in the coastal state. However, the LDF and the UDF believe that the NDA will unlikely be a challenge for them, with both alliances hoping to win the elections. Notably, both the blocs have called the BJP the 'B-team' of the other.
The LDF, under the leadership of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, is seeking to retain the power for a third straight term. On the other hand, the Congress-led UDF is hoping to turn the tide in a state, where it had last won an elections in 2011.
