Kerala election results 2026: UDF dominates with 100+ leads, NDA shrinks to one
By: Krishna Kumar
Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan is continuing to trail in his bastion Dharmadam even after the fourth round of vote counting. The CM trails the UDF’s V P Abdul Rasheed by over 2,000 votes. The "UDF Wave" has reached deep into the cabinet, with 13 ministers currently trailing, including P Rajeeve, K B Ganesh Kumar, Veena George and R Bindu.
However, some LDF veterans are fighting back. Shailaja Teacher is seeing her lead increase in Peravoor, and Minister Muhammed Riyas is currently holding a lead in his constituency.
The lead of certain UDF leaders like Chandy Ommen have crossed the 20, 000 mark. Senior UDF leaders V D Satheesan, Ramesh Chennithala, and P K Kunhalikutty have all secured stable leads after initial jitters. UDF workers have started celebrations in many constituencies.
In Alappuzha, UDF-backed independent G Sudhakaran is leading by a massive margin of 10,644 votes.
Palakkad is witnessing a nail-biter where UDF’s Ramesh Pisharody is locked in a fierce battle with NDA’s Shobha Surendran. Similarly, in Vattiyoorkavu, K Muraleedharan (UDF) and V K Prasanth (LDF) are neck-and-neck.
As the afternoon rounds approach, the UDF appears poised to form the next government with a thumping majority, marking a decisive return to the state's traditional alternating power structure.
