kerala election result
The counting of votes for the Kerela Legislative Assembly election is going on following a single-phase polling across all 140 constituencies on 9th April 2026. The wait for final result is now getting close. This election will decide whether the Left Democratic Front (LDF) can secure a historic third consecutive term, or Congress led opposition will be able to form the government with the help of its allies.
The heavyweights’ key constituencies in the Kerela are Thiruvananthapuram, Nemom, Vattiyoorkavu, and Kollam.
Thiruvananthapuram is one of the high-profile constituencies of the Kerela which was won by Janadhipathya Kerala Congress (JKC)’s Adv. Antony Raju in 2021 by securing a total of 48,748 votes. The constituency becomes special because of Congress leader Shashi Tharoor who is Member of Parliament (lower house) from the Thiruvananthapuram constituency since 2009.
