Chalakudy, a key Kerala constituency in Thrissur district, showcases a close contest between UDF and LDF. The INC recently secured a narrow victory in 2021, reclaiming the seat from CPI(M)'s previous dominance. This urban-rural mix of over 190,000 voters consistently sees high turnouts, highlighting its competitive political landscape.

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.

Parliament is set to debate the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, aiming for 33% women's reservation in legislatures.

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.
