Cong-led UDF leads in Municipal Corporations as Kerala local body vote counting progresses

Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 13 (UNI) Early counting of votes in the Kerala Local Body Elections 2025 shows the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) gaining a notable edge in several municipal corporations, while the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) are also putting up robust performances in key areas.
According to the emerging trends, the UDF is leading in multiple corporations, with strong showings in Thrissur and Kochi. In the Thrissur Municipal Corporation, the Congress-led front has steadily increased its lead in several wards, signaling a potential comeback in the city's civic body.

In Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation, the contest remains highly competitive, with the NDA emerging as a strong challenger. The BJP-led alliance is ahead in more than two dozen wards, posing a serious challenge to the long-standing dominance of the LDF, which has controlled the corporation for decades.
