According to the survey, the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) will return to power in Kerala.

In the 140-member assembly, Pinarayi Vijayan-led LDF government can win a simple majority in the Kerala Polls 2021, by winning somewhere between 77-85 seats. Meanwhile, Congress-led UDF might get restricted to 54-62 seats of the 140 seats - higher than its 2016 tally when it won 47 seats.
