The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has a lead restricted to one constituency, Nemom. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is currently trailing in his constituency, Dharmadam. UDF workers have started celebrations in many constituencies.
Key facts:
- The UDF appears poised to form the next government with a thumping majority.
- UDF-backed independent G Sudhakaran is leading by a margin of 10,644 votes in Alappuzha.
- The LDF has become the last Communist party government in India after 50 years.
