In a remarkable electoral performance, the United Democratic Front (UDF) achieved a clean sweep across the central Kerala districts of Ernakulam, Kottayam, and Idukki, winning all available seats. The Left Democratic Front (LDF), however, found some solace in Thrissur district, where it secured nine out of thirteen seats, preventing a total UDF domination in the region. This election marked a significant turnaround for the UDF, especially in Ernakulam, which has traditionally been considered its bastion. Notably, the UDF's victory included the defeat of P. Rajeeve, a prominent CPI (M) leader and the outgoing Industries Minister. The results underscore the UDF's strong showing across the state, further solidifying its position in Kerala's political landscape.
