New Delhi: As the country set to hold the Lok Sabha elections in the next few months, a recent survey conducted by India TV and CNX, predicted the Congress-led United Democratic Front (Kerala) is likely to maintain its lead in the upcoming polls. However, in a major shift, it predicted at least three seats for the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), which eventually would be the first time for the saffron party to open its account.
According to the IndiaTV-CNX Opinion poll, UDF may dominate in 11 seats, while the LDF may secure an upper hand in the remaining segments. The opinion poll has predicted a tough fight between BJP candidate Rajeev Chandrasekhar and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor in the Thiruvananthapuram constituency.
Notably, in the last election, the UDF almost had a clean sweep, winning 19 out of the 20 Lok Sabha seats in Kerala.
Here are key takeaways from the IndiaTV-CNX Opinion poll for Kerala:
- Congress is leading in the Wayanad constituency in Kerala.
- Congress ally Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) is leading in the Malappuram constituency in Kerala.
- BJP candidate Rajeev Chandrasekhar is leading in the Thiruvananthapuram constituency in Kerala against Congress leader Shashi Tharoor.
- LDF is leading in the Thrissur constituency in Kerala.
- Left Democratic Front (LDF) is likely to win 6 Lok Sabha seats.
