Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has once again secured victory, this time with an impressive lead of 3,50,030 votes over his closest competitor, Annie Raja of the Communist Party of India, in the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency.

Sitting MP Shashi Tharoor appears poised for victory in Thiruvananthapuram after a fierce battle with BJP’s Rajeev Chandrasekhar.

Congress leader K.C. Venugopal is surging ahead of his rivals in Alappuzha.

The polling, conducted in a single phase on April 26 as part of the 18th Lok Sabha polls, witnessed a voter turnout of 71.27%. Out of Kerala's 2,77,49,158 eligible voters, 1,97,77,478 exercised their franchise.

In the previous 2019 General Elections, the UDF clinched 19 seats while the LDF secured one seat in Alappuzha.

Despite its allegiance to the INDIA alliance, the LDF fielded formidable candidates across all constituencies in Kerala.

The NDA made earnest efforts to open its Lok Sabha account in Kerala. Notably, in the Thiruvananthapuram constituency, the NDA fielded Union Minister Rajeev Chandrashekar against the incumbent MP Shashi Tharoor (INC) and Pannian Raveendran (CPI).

In Wayanad, incumbent MP Rahul Gandhi (INC) faced off against Annie Raja (CPI) and BJP Kerala State president K. Surendran. Meanwhile, in Attingal, the NDA fielded Union Minister V. Muraleedharan (BJP) against incumbent MP Adoor Prakash (INC).

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's multiple visits to Kerala and the BJP's strategic focus on garnering support from the Christian community in the state have characterized the narrative of the 2024 elections.
