Kerala is gearing up for a crucial electoral battle on April 9, with the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) striving to maintain its dominance against the United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The LDF, led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, previously secured 95 out of 140 seats in the 2021 Assembly elections, marking a significant consolidation of power.
