Kerala assembly election results: Twenty20 fails despite joining hands with NDA

Despite much hype, Twenty20, which joined NDA, couldn't make an impact in assembly elections or even improve its vote share. The party which got 42,000 votes in its home turf Kunnathunad in 2021 elections, could mop up only 34,000 votes this time.

In Thrikkakara and Tripunithura the party candidates were expected to perform well but couldn't garner votes as expected. Tripunithura is one of the strongholds of BJP where the party assumed power in municipal elections in 2025. But Anjali Nair, the Twenty20 candidate, who contested on behalf of the NDA in Tripunithura could mop up only less than 30,000 votes.



In Kunnathunad, Twenty20 candidate got around 42,000 votes in 2021 and the BJP candidate got around 8,000 votes. When Twenty20 joined the NDA, the vote was expected to increase. But the vote share declined by around 8,000 in this elections.

Promy Kuriakose, who contested on Twenty20 ticket from Angamaly, could mobilize only 9,893 votes. The BJP candidate who contested from Angamaly in 2021 got 8,677 votes. Despite Twenty20 joining the BJP-led front in 2026, the front could increase the votes by around 800 which is very nominal.

In most of the constituencies, Twenty20's vote share showed a downward trend. In Kochi assembly constituency, Twenty20 candidate Xavier Julappan got only 11,854 votes. In 2021, the Twenty20 candidate got 19,676 votes while the BJP candidate won 10,991 votes. In Vypeen, Twenty20 candidate Anitha Thomas got 13,637 votes. In 2021, Twenty20 candidates got 16,707 votes and the BJP candidate won 13,540 votes from Vypeen.

As NDA alliance partner, Twenty20 party candidates contested from 19 seats across the state. Kodungalloor is the only constituency other than the segments in Ernakulam district where the party could garner more than 20,000 votes.
