Apr 29, 2026 10:09 PM IST Kerala Election Exit Poll Result 2026 LIVE Updates: Kerala projections predict UDF comeback, narrow lead over LDF Exit polls for Kerala’s 2026 Assembly elections indicate a potential comeback for the Congress-led UDF, with most surveys predicting a slim advantage over the CPI(M)-led LDF after a decade of Left rule under Pinarayi Vijayan. Pollsters broadly place the UDF in the range of 70-85 seats, just above the majority mark of 70 in the 140-member Assembly, while the LDF is projected to secure around 55-69 seats. The BJP-led NDA is expected to remain a minor player, with estimates ranging from 1 to 7 seats.
Vote share projections also reflect the tight race, with one survey putting the UDF at around 44% and the LDF at 39%, suggesting a narrow gap compared to 2021 when the LDF secured a decisive victory. With multiple agencies indicating a close finish, the final outcome is likely to hinge on marginal seat-level swings across the state. Read detailed analysis here.
