Kerala elections 2021
A rejuvenated Left, a bumbling Congress, and a lost BJP.
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) of Pinarayi Vijayan has been returned in Kerala with an enhanced mandate, for a unique, second consecutive term.
The coalitionâs senior partner, Communist Party of India (Marxist), the CPM, alone won 62 seats in a house of 140. This marks the start of a new phase of politics in the state.
The starkest election trend is that where the Left won, they won big, while where the Congressâs United Democratic Front (UDF) won, they did so by slender margins.
