The latest result trends show the Congress-led UDF winning the Kerala Assembly election 2026, with 63 seats won and several allied seats adding to a clear majority in the 140-member assembly.

What the numbers say

  • UDF: 63 seats won
  • CPI(M): 26 seats won
  • IUML: 22 seats won
  • BJP: 3 seats won
  • Others and independents: 11 seats

Read of the race

Exit-poll coverage before counting had already pointed to a narrow UDF edge, and the official trends later confirmed that shift.

That means the most likely answer to “who will win” is UDF , not LDF, in this election cycle.

Why it mattered

The contest was framed as a test of whether Kerala would continue its alternating-government pattern or give the ruling Left another term.

In the end, the anti-incumbency swing and the opposition’s momentum were enough to tilt the race toward the UDF.

One-line takeaway

UDF won Kerala in 2026, ending the LDF’s bid to hold power.
