Keralam Polls 2026: Congress workers gather at VD Satheesan's residence, express confidence as vote counting begins

Congress workers gather at VD Satheesan's residence in Thiruvananthapuram as Keralam Assembly election counting begins. UDF confident of win.

"100% UDF will come - M Vincent, Congress candidate"

Thiruvananthapuram, May 4

Congress workers gathered at the residence of Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan and at the state party office in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday as counting for the Keralam Assembly elections began, with supporters closely tracking early trends and expressing optimism.

A large number of party workers assembled at Satheesan's residence, where many were seen following live updates and discussing early leads. The mood remained tense but hopeful, with workers expressing confidence in a favourable outcome for the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF).

Earlier, Congress candidate M Vincent expressed complete confidence in winning the Kovalam Assembly constituency seat, claiming that the United Democratic Front (UDF) would win with "a good majority" in the state.

Speaking to ANI here, Congress candidate from the Kovalam Assembly constituency added that he has full confidence in the people, as he has worked for them for the last 10 years.

"In my constituency, I hope that I can win the election because I have full confidence in the people. I worked for the people for the last 10 years, and it will reflect in the election... 100% UDF will come..." Vincent told reporters.

As counting began for high-stakes elections across 823 constituencies in four states and one Union Territory, early trends from postal ballots showed the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ahead in Assam with leads in 25 seats, while the Congress-led alliance was ahead in seven.

In Keralam, a close contest is unfolding between the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF), with both sides inching past 50 leads each.

Counting day always feels like an exam results day for Kerala! Let's see if the trends hold. But I'm worried about the national narrative being pushed into our state politics. We don't need the same communal polarisation here.

Full support to Satheesan sir! UDF needs to come back. LDF has destroyed our education system and made healthcare a mess. But we must also be careful about the anti-incumbency wave - people are tired of both fronts at times.

Is anyone else concerned about the influence of money and muscle power in these elections? Kovalam candidate Vincent seems confident but lots of voters are disillusioned. Whoever wins, hope they focus on actual development - roads, jobs, and youth issues. 🗳️

From a neutral perspective, both LDF and UDF have failed Kerala in different ways. The real win would be if independent candidates or smaller parties get more seats. But ground reality says it's again a bipolar fight. Let's see who blinks first in this close race.

Satheesan's residence looks like a wedding venue today! Hope the workers' energy translates into actual votes. But I have to say, the Congress needs to do more grassroots work between elections, not just show up during campaigns. Counting trends will be interesting by evening. 🔢
