Malappuram Assembly Election Results 2026

Anchored in the heart of Kerala's Malappuram district, the Malappuram Assembly constituency claims the 40th position among the state's 140 legislative seats, seamlessly integrating into the Malappuram Lok Sabha territory. This powerhouse seat mobilizes over 220,000 voters from a predominantly Muslim demographic, consistently posting turnouts beyond 78per cent, and encompasses Malappuram Municipality alongside key grama panchayats like Marakkara and Vengara. It stands as the quintessential IUML bastion, powering UDF supremacy in north Kerala's electoral chessboard. In the 2021 Kerala Assembly elections, IUML's P. Ubaidulla dominated with 91,202 votes at 55.2per cent, overwhelming CPI(M)'s P. Abdul Rahman's 56,994 votes (34.4per cent) by a commanding 34,208-vote margin from roughly 220,000 electors. The 2016 showdown amplified this prowess, as IUML's U.A. Latheef notched 88,248 votes (around 58per cent), dispatching LDF challengers by over 37,000 votes amid high participation from 190,000 voters, affirming the party's unchallenged reign. With 2026 on the horizon, Malappuram's legacy of IUML victories since the 1960s, save fleeting interruptions, thrives on deep-rooted community loyalty and development agendas. As LDF and NDA eye disruptions, minority aspirations and infrastructure drives will fuel the discourse, ensuring this UDF citadel commands unwavering spotlight in Kerala's political saga.
