In Kerala Assembly elections in 2026, the United Democratic Front (UDF) wins several constituencies, including seats it has not held for decades and others where it improves margins. Reports from The Hindu say the UDF reclaims Uduma after 39 years, marking a long turnaround for the bloc in the constituency. In another contest, the UDF also reclaims Kunnathunadu with a record margin, extending its gains in the election. The Hindu further reports that the UDF retains Muvattupuzha and Perumbavoor, with improved margins compared with the previous outcome, and also wrests Kothamangalam from the Left.
In Kothamangalam, UDF candidates Mathew Kuzhalnadan, Manoj Moothedan and Shibu Thekkumpuram are described as registering decisive wins. Across the three constituencies covered in the reporting, NDA candidates are said to trail at a distant third. Taken together, the accounts indicate that the UDF strengthens its position through both retention in some seats and gains in others, while the Left and NDA remain behind in these specific constituencies.
