Southern Kerala witnessed a significant political shift in the 2026 assembly polls, with the LDF losing 24 seats in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, and Alappuzha compared to 2021. This decline, marked by ministerial defeats and disintegration of traditional vote banks, points to anti-incumbency, leadership vulnerabilities, and evolving social coalitions.
