Kerala Constituency wise results (UDF vs. LDF) for Loksabha 2014

The Indian general election, 2014 polls in Kerala were held for the twenty Lok Sabha seats in the state on 10 April 2014.[1] The total voter strength of Kerala is 24,251,937 and the percentage of voters who exercised their right was an impressive 74.04%.[2] The results of the elections were declared on 16 May 2014.

Background

The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government under the premiership of Dr. Manmohan Singh completed its second term in May 2014 and general election was conducted to form a government to head the largest democracy in the world. The United Democratic Front (UDF), aligned to the national coalition of the UPA, the incumbent ruling alliance in the state legislature after wresting power from the Left Democratic Front (LDF), in the state assembly election of 2011. The buildup to this election saw parties shifting allegiance from both the prominent coalitions.

Alliances and parties

As in the previous general elections in the recent history of the state, the key alliances that fought for representation of Lok Sabha seats in Kerala in the 2014 general election are the UDF which is the Kerala state legislative alliance aligned with the UPA at the national level and the LDF comprising primarily of the CPI(M) and the CPI. The nationally relevant National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has not had any success in general elections in Kerala so far but set up their candidates in all constituencies of the state. A new force in the election is the Left United Front. The debutante Aam Aadmi Party fielded candidates in fifteen of the twenty seats.

United Democratic Front

UDF seat sharing in Kerala

The United Democratic Front alliance saw the addition of two parties since the previous general election of 2009 while parting ways with one party that did not have any representation in the state legislature. The SJ(D) joined the UDF in August 2010[3] splitting away from its parent, the Janata Dal (S) while the left leaning RSP docked itself to the UDF in March 2014, after the announcement of the general election.[4]
