Exit polls project victory of Congress-led UDF in Keralam

Axis My India, People's Pulse, and JVC project Congress-led UDF to win 72-90 seats in Keralam, defeating LDF. Results on May 4.

"The last polls were a setback for UDF and exit poll predictions will be music to the ears of the leaders of the Congress-led alliance. - News Article"

Thiruvananthapuram, April 29

Congress-led United Democratic Front is poised to win Keralam assembly polls, according to exit poll projections on Wednesday.

Axis My India projected a comfortable majority for UDF and said it will win 78 to 90 seats in the 140-member assembly. It said the Left Democratic Front would win 49 to 62 seats and the BJP-led NDA zero to three seats.

According to People's Pulse, the ruling LDF is poised to win 55 to 60 seats, UDF 75 to 85 seats and NDA 0-3 seats.

JVC projected that UDF would win with 72 to 84 seats, LDF 52-60 seats and BJP-led NDA three to eight seats.

Keralam went to the polls in a single phase on April 9 and the voter turnout was 78.27 per cent.

The LDF had won the 2021 polls and broken the trend of the state having a change of government every five years. The last polls were a setback for UDF and exit poll predictions will be music to the ears of the leaders of the Congress-led alliance.

LDF had won 99 out of 140 seats in the 2021 polls with CPI-M winning 62. Pinarayi Vijayan became Chief Minister for another term.

The results of Keralam elections will be out on May 4, along with the outcome of elections in Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Assam and Puducherry.

The exit poll projections were released after the second phase of polling in West Bengal. Assam, Kerala and Puducherry went to the polls on April 9 and Tamil Nadu on April 23. West Bengal went to the polls in two phases on April 23 and April 29.

As a Malayali, I truly hope these exit polls are accurate. The last five years under Pinarayi Vijayan saw some development but also major controversies like the gold smuggling case and allegations of corruption. UDF has a history of focusing on education and healthcare. Let's see what May 4 brings. šŸ‡®šŸ‡³

I don't trust exit polls after 2014 general elections debacle. But if UDF wins, it's a clear message that Keralam wants change. The LDF government had good schemes but people are tired of the same faces. Let's hope whoever comes focuses on unemployment and infrastructure. šŸ¤ž

Interesting how Axis My India gives NDA 0-3 seats while JVC says 3-8. That's a big difference. But honestly, BJP has never gained much foothold in Keralam despite all efforts. Our state has always been progressive on social issues. Proud of that. āœŒļø

Honestly, both UDF and LDF have had their chances. What Keralam really needs is a third alternative that focuses on economic growth instead of just identity politics. But that seems unlikely. Exit polls are just pollsters' guesses - I'll wait for May 4. šŸ˜’
