The latest exit polls for the Kerala assembly elections indicate a potential shift in power from the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) to the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF). According to the Axis My India exit poll, the UDF is anticipated to win between 78 and 90 seats, a dramatic rise from 41 seats in the previous election. In contrast, the LDF is projected to secure between 49 and 62 seats, down from its previous majority of 99 seats. Other exit polls, including those from People's Insight and Peoples Pulse, also support this trend, forecasting UDF victories of 66-76 and 75-85 seats respectively. The overall consensus from the poll of exit polls suggests that UDF could achieve a clear majority with 75 seats, while the LDF would be reduced to 60 seats. This outcome would mark a significant political shift in Kerala, potentially ending the LDF's decade-long rule in the state. Voter demographics show that 44% of rural voters and 43% of urban voters have supported the UDF, while the LDF's urban support has decreased to 38%.
