Keralam Results: As early trends begin to emerge from Kerala, Congress MP Jebi Mather expresses strong confidence in a UDF comeback, citing anti-incumbency and governance concerns against the ruling LDF. With initial leads favouring the UDF, party leaders are upbeat, though analysts caution that these are based on early postal ballots. The Congress positions Kerala as a crucial battleground and a potential springboard for its 2029 national ambitions, even as questions remain over a tight contest and the BJP’s role in the state’s political dynamics.
