Kerala Assembly Elections 2026: Ten of the Thirteen Incumbent MLAs in Kozhikode Seek Re-Election; CPI(M) Does Not Field Woman Candidate

Following the 2021 Assembly elections in Kerala, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) secured a significant majority in the Kozhikode constituency, winning 11 of the 14 available legislator seats. In contrast, the United Democratic Front (UDF) managed to elect two representatives.

The victory for the LDF was part of a broader trend in Kerala, where the coalition has maintained a strong foothold in various districts. The election results reflect the political dynamics within the state, which has historically alternated between these two major alliances.

In the context of governance, the LDF has focused on various developmental initiatives, particularly in areas such as education, healthcare, and social welfare. The UDF, while in the minority in Kozhikode, has indicated ongoing efforts to address local issues and engage constituents in future electoral strategies.
