Kattakkada, a Thiruvananthapuram constituency shaped by plantations and hill agriculture, is currently represented by CPI(M)'s I.B. Satheesh. The LDF stronghold faces significant challenges including landslides, poor rural connectivity, youth unemployment, and erratic water supply, impacting its rural economy despite a high voter turnout in the last election.

Early trends for the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections show a significant shift, with the Congress-led UDF projected for a commanding victory, leading in over 100 seats. The ruling LDF faces strong anti-incumbency, while the BJP remains a marginal player. This outcome suggests a return to Kerala's traditional pattern of alternating governments.

Kerala's 2026 Assembly elections are shaping into a multi-cornered battle, with 20 key constituencies defining the real contest. These seats, marked by urban change, coastal pressures, and high-profile candidates, will be decisive in determining the state's political direction.

As Kerala heads to the polls, the election narrative shifts from rallies to booth-level battles. The ruling LDF aims for a historic third term, while the UDF seeks to leverage local body momentum against anti-incumbency. The NDA is focused on converting key pockets into durable political footholds, making these 20 constituencies the state's pressure points.

With nominations closing Monday, a flurry of candidates, including ministers and senior leaders from LDF, UDF, and NDA, submitted their papers across Kerala on Saturday. Notable filings included P A Mohamed Riyas, Roshi Augustine, Ramesh Chennithala, K Surendran, and Rajeev Chandrasekhar. Over 500 nominations were received by Saturday evening.

Former MLA P K Sasi was expelled from the CPM party. This action followed his strong criticism of the Palakkad district leadership at a convention. Sasi had recently resigned from his position. He alleged corruption and illegal activities involving party leaders. The expulsion came swiftly after his speech at the dissident convention.
