The Kerala assembly election was held on April 9, 2026, across 140 constituencies. The incumbent Left Democratic Front (LDF), under Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, is vying for a second consecutive term in a state that typically alternates governments. The United Democratic Front (UDF), led by Congress leaders VD Satheesan and Ramesh Chennithala, aims to regain ground in this election. Exit polls, which will be released after 6:30 PM today, are based on surveys conducted with voters post-election and have a mixed record of accuracy. In the previous election in 2021, exit polls had predicted a significant victory for the LDF, which ultimately won 99 seats, while the UDF was forecasted to secure only 20-36 seats, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was projected to win 0-2 seats.
