 Composition of theKerala Legislative Assembly after the election | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The2021 Kerala Legislative Assembly election was held inKerala on 6 April 2021 to elect 140members to the 15thKerala Legislative Assembly. The results were declared on 2 May.[1]
The election saw the incumbentLeft Democratic Front (LDF) retaining power with 99 seats, 8 more than in theprevious election, marking the first time that an alliance won consecutive terms in the state since its1977 election.[2] TheUnited Democratic Front (UDF) won the remaining 41 seats, 6 less than in the previous election. TheNational Democratic Alliance (NDA) received a dip in vote share and lost their lone seat.[3]Pinarayi Vijayan became the firstChief Minister of Kerala to be re-elected after completing a full, five-year term in office.[4][5]
Kerala has a unicameral house of legislation, Niyamasabha, consisting of 140 members elected from individual constituencies and one nominated member from theAnglo-Indian community. Members are elected for a period of five years, unless the assembly is dissolved earlier. Fourteen and two constituencies respectively are reserved for members belonging toScheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST). The tenure of the members of the14th Legislative Assembly in the state ended on 1 June 2021.[6]
As with all assembly elections in India, Kerala usesfirst-past-the-post election system. Voters are given a provision to vote NOTA (None Of The Above). State Election Commission, Kerala conducts the assembly election and is overseen byElection Commission of India.[7]
In the previous election in 2016, the LDF bagged 91 seats in the assembly, defeating the incumbent UDF, led by theIndian National Congress (INC), which could only win 47 seats in the election. The remaining seat was won by an independent,P. C. George, who later formed the partyKerala Janapaksham (Secular).[8]
After being suspended from UDF,Kerala Congress (M), led byJose K. Mani, joined LDF. However, a faction of the party, led byP. J. Joseph, remained in UDF and formedKerala Congress.[9][10]
Another major change that occurred after 2016 was the entry of 4 parties, includingLoktantrik Janata Dal andIndian National League, into LDF.[11]
In the2020 Kerala local elections held in December, LDF performed strong, including a lead in 11 out of 14district panchayats in the state.[12]
The induction of Kerala Congress (M) gave inroads to LDF in the traditional UDF strongholds ofKottayam district and nearby areas with large number ofSyrian Christian voters.[13]
After the local elections,A. Vijayaraghavan, the new state secretary ofCommunist Party of India (Marxist), repeatedly alleged that UDF had secret alliance with the fundamentalist organisations likeJamaat-e-Islami.[14][15]
In February 2021,Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leaderMani C. Kappan, the sitting MLA ofPala constituency, switched to the UDF after the LDF denied his request to contest in Pala constituency in the election. This resulted in his expulsion from NCP, following which he formed a new political party namedNationalist Congress Kerala (NCK).[16]
In March 2021, R. Balasankar, leader ofRashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh fromAlappuzha, claimed that the Kerala leadership of BJP had struck a secret deal withCPI(M) to weaken and ensure the defeat of UDF, a claim denied by BJP.[17][18] On 17 March 2021,P. C. Thomas announced the merger of his party with P. J. Joseph's Kerala Congress, with him being its Deputy Chairman.[19]

Many parties, including the CPI(M), the INC and the CPI, did not give tickets to most sitting MLAs who had already served two terms. A third of selected candidates had prior experience in local bodies.[29] The Indian Union Muslim League fielded a female candidate - Noorbeena Rasheed inKozhikode South - for the first time in 25 years.[30][31][32] Anannyah Kumari Alex, contesting fromVengara, became the first ever transgender candidate to be nominated for Kerala assembly election,[33] However, she suspended her campaign after alleged harassment from her party members.[34]
Nominations of NDA candidates inThalassery,Guruvayur andDevikulam were rejected by the Election Commission, citing incomplete nomination papers. Hence, the alliance offered support Democratic Social Justice Party (DSJP) candidate in Guruvayur, AIADMK candidate in Devikulam[35] and for an independent candidate in Thalassery, however the latter rejected the support.[36]

The incumbent Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan was sworn in on 20 May along with 20 other cabinet members, 18 of whom were fresh faces. The exclusion of incumbent Health Minister K. K. Shailaja from the cabinet drew criticism from the public and from some CPI(M) members.[78] The swearing-in ceremony, which was restricted to 500 participants due to a state-widelockdown, was not attended by opposition MLAs and representatives from Central government, citing COVID protocol concerns.[79]

Surendran was the chief accused in the case.[82] The case was later handed over toEnforcement Directorate.[83]
On 20 March 2023,Kerala High Court nullified the election in Devikulam, where elected members are required to belong to Scheduled Castes (SC), after establishing that the elected MLA, A.
