Early trends from the counting of votes from Kerala state assembly election shows a massive lead for the Left Democratic Front (LDF), led by the
Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the incumbent Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who is leading in his home constituency of Dharmadam.
LDF is leading in over 70 seats compared to UDF's 39 at 2:30 pm.
If the party does get re-elected, it would be the first one to get a second consecutive term in the state since the 1970s. Some of the constituencies where the United Democratic Front (UDF) are ahead in constituencies like Kasaragod, Kannur, Kaduthuruthy and Kottarakkara.
Kannur, which saw a fair share political violence ahead of the elections, was one of the few areas where the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic alliance was hoping to make some in roads given the Hindu majority population in the region. However, at this stage, it seems like a far cry for the saffron party.
These are the leading candidates for in some of the key constituencies in Kerala at 2:00 pm:Assembly Constituency
