Kerala Election 2026 Key Constituencies: Kerala is set to vote in the state assembly elections on Thursday. The polling will be held in all 140 constituencies, where voters will seal the fate of the candidates.

The main contest in these elections is between the CPI (M)-led LDF and Congress-led UDF. Congress is eyeing to uproot the LDF government from power, which has been ruling the state since 2016.

On the other hand, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is looking to secure a third term for his alliance. The two-sided battle has become more interesting with the BJP's entry, which has so far been less effective.

The graph of the BJP has risen over the past few years. What gave the saffron party momentum is its record victory in the Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation election. The party emerged as a significant third front in the state politics.

Among 140 seats going to polls, all eyes will be on 35 key battles, which would shape the outcome on May 4, the counting day.
