Satheesan’s candidacy follows a decisive win, with the UDF gaining a significant majority. The cabinet distribution will see Congress receiving 12 seats and IUML getting 5, alongside various quotas for allied parties.

This election marks a pivotal moment for the UDF, which has focused on strategic ministerial distribution to ensure balanced representation across districts and communities. Observers note that this approach aligns with the party’s political rotation policy.

Key figures in the potential cabinet include K.K. Rema and Mani C. Kappan, who may benefit from this rotation policy aimed at including associate members.

As discussions on cabinet positions continue, UDF leaders emphasize unity and collaboration among coalition partners. The final cabinet structure is expected to reflect both electoral promises and community needs.

The formation of the new government will take place shortly, with many anticipating that Satheesan will prioritize key issues such as development and social welfare in his administration.

The Left Democratic Front (LDF) is projected to secure 60-65 seats, while the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is expected to win 3-5 seats. The majority mark in the Kerala Assembly is 71 seats.

The 2026 Assembly election follows a historic verdict in the 2021 polls, when the LDF broke Kerala’s long-standing pattern of alternating governments every five years. This election marks a significant shift in the state’s political landscape.

According to exit polls, the UDF is predicted to win in a neck-and-neck contest with the LDF. Voter turnout in Kerala reached 78.27%, reflecting strong public engagement in this electoral process.

Key projections:

• The UDF is expected to win between 70-75 seats according to P-Marq.
• The LDF’s projected seat count ranges from 60-65 based on exit polls.
• The NDA’s anticipated performance is between 3-5 seats.

Yet, experts caution that exit polls are just predictions based on surveys and can turn out to be wrong on result day. The final results will be announced on May 4.
