UDF lands sweeping victory in Kerala north, LDF reduced to single‑digit seats

The United Democratic Front (UDF) won a clean sweep in north Kerala, securing all 12 seats in Kozhikode and winning in Vypeen, while the Left Democratic Front (LDF) saw its tally plunge from 50 seats in 2021 to fewer than a dozen across the region. The Hindu reports that the LDF failed to win any seats in Ernakulam, Kottayam and Idukki, with Thrissur being its only hold. The results highlight a dramatic shift in voter sentiment after two decades of LDF dominance in the area.
