Kerala is known for its unique political dynamics, where power has historically swung between two major alliances: the LDF and the UDF. But this time around, things seem different. The LDF, led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, has been in power since 2016. However, the Congress-led UDF is feeling optimistic, thanks to its recent performance in various polls.

The UDF has been quietly gaining momentum, and its leaders are confident of a win. They're even discussing possible chief ministerial candidates, which is a sign of their growing confidence.

Meanwhile, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is trying to make its mark in Kerala. Although they're not in the running to form the government, they're hoping to expand their influence in the state.

As the counting of votes begins on May 4, the state is bracing itself for a major shift in power. The LDF, which has been in power for nearly a decade, is facing a tough challenge from the UDF.

The stage is set for a nail-biting finish, with all eyes on the results. Will the LDF manage to hold on to power, or will the UDF finally break the Left's grip on Kerala?
