Kerala Exit Poll Results 2026 LIVE: Congress Poised to End Pinarayi's 10-Year Rule, Axis My India Predicts UDF Victory
Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala - In a shocking turn of events, exit polls conducted by Axis My India have predicted a landslide victory for the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala, signaling the end of the 10-year rule of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's Left Democratic Front (LDF).
According to the exit polls, the UDF is expected to secure a whopping 78-90 seats in the 140-member Kerala Legislative Assembly, while the LDF is predicted to bag a mere 40-52 seats. This would be a significant setback for the LDF, which has been in power since 2016.
The exit polls, which were conducted on April 29, 2026, suggest that the Congress-led UDF has gained momentum in the state, with voters increasingly disillusioned with the LDF's governance. The UDF's campaign, led by Congress leader V.D. Satheesan, has focused on issues such as corruption, unemployment, and the state's economic woes.
The LDF, on the other hand, has been criticized for its handling of the state's economy, which has been struggling to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The party's failure to address issues such as inflation, power outages, and water scarcity has also been a major factor in its declining popularity.
If the exit polls are accurate, it would be a historic victory for the UDF, which has been out of power in Kerala since 2016. The Congress-led alliance has been working tirelessly to regain its foothold in the state, and this predicted victory would be a major boost to the party's morale.
The election results are expected to be announced on May 2, 2026. Until then, the people of Kerala will have to wait with bated breath to see if the exit polls are accurate. One thing is certain, however - the outcome of this election will have a significant impact on the future of Kerala and its people.
