Today's Chanakya's exit poll projections for the 2026 Assembly elections indicate a competitive race in Kerala, where the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) is forecasted to secure 69 seats (±9) in the 140-member Assembly, slightly ahead of the ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) at 64 seats (±9). The BJP-led alliance is expected to win a modest 7 seats (±4). Vote share estimates reflect this tight contest, with the UDF anticipated to garner 40% (±3%) of the votes, closely followed by the LDF at 38% (±3%). Meanwhile, in Assam, the BJP-led alliance is projected to achieve a commanding victory with 102 seats (±9) in the 126-member Assembly, while the Congress-led alliance is expected to secure only 23 seats (±9). These projections underscore the contrasting political landscapes in both states, with Kerala's contest remaining finely balanced and Assam favoring the BJP decisively. However, with significant margins of error, these projections should be viewed as trends rather than definitive outcomes.
