Kerala election 2026: Five questions, no easy answers | LME on the ground

Kerala election 2026: For decades, power has alternated every five years in Kerala. But in 2021, that cycle broke when CPI(M)’s Pinarayi Vijayan came to power for the second time. Now, in 2026, he is seeking a third consecutive term.

Is there anti-incumbency after a decade in power? Can the Congress convert its recent momentum into votes? Will the BJP’s targeted strategy pay off? How are voter expectations shifting from welfare to jobs?

In this episode of #LetMeExplain, Pooja Prasanna and Lakshmi Priya travel across Kerala to unpack the 5 big questions that could decide the 2026 verdict.
