The State Election Commission's data reveal that the UDF outpaces the LDF in several key areas, including 389 grama panchayats and eight district panchayats.
The UDF also leads in 55 municipalities and four corporations, while the LDF is poised for possible setbacks in strategic regions like Kollam and Kochi.
As the BJP-led NDA makes significant strides in traditionally Left strongholds, particularly the Thiruvananthapuram corporation, Kerala's political scene braces for shifts with a focus on the 2026 assembly elections.
