LDF has won more or less the same number of seats like in the 2016 polls
The Assembly elections in north Kerala usually witness a repeat of a familiar pattern with the dominance of the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) whichever coalition comes to power in the State.
But this time the pro-incumbency wave seemed to have helped the LDF win more or less the same number of seats like in the 2016 polls. By sweeping the elections, the LDF gained from the positive attitude of the voters towards the Pinarayi Vijayan government.

This is a maiden victory for a UDF-backed candidate in the segment
Revolutionary Marxist Party of India (RMPI) leader K.K. Rema’s victory from the Vadakara Assembly segment against her Left Democratic Front (LDF) rival and Loktantrik Janata Dal leader Manayath Chandran by a margin of 7,491 votes is historic on many counts.
First, the constituency in Kozhikode district bucked the general trend in the State in favour of the LDF by electing a United Democratic Front (UDF)-backed candidate. Second, this is only the second time a non-socialist nominee is being chosen by the electorate here except in 1957, when the undivided Communist Party of India’s M.K. Kelu won from here. Third, this is the first time a woman is getting elected as MLA from the segment. And this is also the maiden electoral victory for any UDF-backed candidate from Vadakara.

The front retains nine out of 14 seats in the district
The 2021 Assembly polls will go down in the annals of the political history of Ernakulam district as the one that presented a consolation victory to the United Democratic Front (UDF), as it braved the red tide which swept the State.
While almost all UDF citadels in the State fell, the front stood strong in Ernakulam. It retained its tally of nine out of 14 seats in the district.
While the Congress wrested back Thripunithura from the CPI(M), it lost Kunnathunad and Kalamassery to the party, thus ending the supremacy it had maintained in the constituencies for long.
